A shinigami, translated as a “Death God,” is tasked with guiding the souls of those who have recently died. Typically, if one is able to see a shinigami, it means that their life is quickly coming to a close, and they too will be given the choice to go to the afterlife with no regrets…or remain on Earth and roam indefinitely, plagued with regret for the rest of their miserable existence.

This review is spoiler-free. Preceding the previously translated Kara no Shoujo, Cartagra is a story of gruesome murders in a post-war Japan. Kara no Shoujo is one of my favorite visual novels. Even taking into account the inescapable bias toward the first few visual novels you read, even looking back on its flaws, it had me so spellbound that I have to recognize it as one of my best experiences in the medium. You can thus imagine how impatient I was to be able to read Cartagra. This also serves

Sunrider is a multi-part, English-language visual novel filled out with segments of tactical RPG gameplay.

Well tough shit, I have yet to find a game that does it well. If you’re a little bit knowledgeable about anime or visual novels, chances are you’ve already heard about the infamous School Days.
