Rei


(Free)

'My name is Aya. For fifteen years, I lived a totally normal life. Then I met…him. And, within one week, everything was different.' So this unique little game begins. This is the story of a girl and a ghost. Your choices could change lives forever.

This game was quite unexpected for me. There's a handful of endings, though there's only one guy you can actually romance. Basically, what you're trying to do is figure out how he died and why he's a ghost.

To do this, you actually get to see the past - certain events that shaped Rei's life and death. It's really time travel, think more astral projection. The mystery aspect was quite interesting and kept me entertained and fully immersed throughout my first play through.

Unfortunately for me however, the best ending to the game was rather elusive and I only got it after much trial and error. However, the game was really fun and quite cute - surprisingly enough considering it's about a ghost.

I came to like the characters enough that I really wanted them to get their happy endings, too. There was one romantic ending and the others all had interesting aspects to them - even if they weren't the happiest. However, each ending dealt with ideas about what might happen if you actively tried to change the past. Very cool, I thought.
