Why play it

Magical Eyes - Red is for Anguish is a thrilling mystery story revolving around a series of unfathomable incidents in a town.

Story and worldbuilding

In the middle of the night on a certain day of April 201X, the right arm of the owner of a general store is chopped off in the backyard of his own store. Even though he claims that the perpetrator is a 'doll' that was kept in the store, his words carry little weight due to the lack of other witnesses. The doll and the detached arm are gone from the scene of crime. “Like a light too strong may burn out one's retinas, so too can supernatural entities be toxic to humans. Even should they take on the invisible form of one's emotions.” This is a mystery story about bizarre incidents unfolding around a town, intermingled with a complicated mixture of human intentions.

Magical Eyes isn't the worst visual novel on Steam by far, but there's plenty more out there that are more deserving of your time.

There’s so much that Magical Eyes – Red is for Anguish gets right that it can be easy to overlook its shortcomings.

I really enjoyed what the game had to show me in the end, and I’d highly recommend it if you can get past the slightly odd writing style and enjoy the medium. There is a lot of content for what you pay, and it’s worth it as a stand-alone episode.

_____________________________ “Yes the characters are unique in their own ways, but what will really grab your attention are the plot concepts and the themes that develop between the existence between the supernatural and every day life.
