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 as a forewarning that I will inevitably venture into comparisons between the two games during the review. To put things back into their context, despite the fact that up until a few days ago only Kara no Shoujo was available to english readers, Cartagra was actually released in Japan by Innocent Grey three years before it. It is thus sensible to read Cartagra before reading Kara no Shoujo. Cartagra is set in 1951, in a slowly recovering post-war Tokyo. Shugo is a former police officer freeloading at a brothel, mostly unemployed but occasionally handling detective work. One day he is asked to investigate on the disappearance of Kohzuki Yura, a girl with who he had an intimate relationship before being sent to war. 
In parallel of his investigation, a series of brutal murders occur in the city. Read the Rest of the Review: Cartagra Walkthrough Discuss this game on the forums
