Black Closet
About
A game of boardroom politics, lesbian romance, and schoolgirl noir.
9 AM Monday morning. A report lands on your desk: Jeanette's monogrammed silver locket has gone missing. The last time she definitely remembers having it, she was walking in the Field with her friend Susan. Shifty hallmate Ashley had also been admiring the locket recently.
Do you:
Drag Ashley in for interrogation?
Comb the Field for clues?
Try to stimulate Jeanette's memory?
Put Susan under surveillance?
Solve the case quickly, and everyone will applaud your leadership. Be too heavy-handed in your approach, and public opinion will turn against you. Let a thief slip through your fingers to strike again, and the whole school's reputation will suffer.

This game is great. A combo of Visual Novel (the Yuri kind, and 5 routes, too!) and stat management. The best thing about it is probably the story, that can differ very much depending on your choices and the artwork (there's two sets of CG's in different artstyles that both have their charm). Playing all the routes takes more than 20 h, it's cool.

That game makes totally addicted! And it is so frustrating at the same time.
That game is really, really, really hard and a totally challenge. But if you would get the game better, if you can use your minions better, then you progress further and further ... and at the point were you see that it would be easier to handle, Black Closet could then be one of the best games of your library.
It's hard to manage, but it makes so much fun to play it! I started it two days ago and there are ten hours where I played it ... enough said ;)?
So, my points will be 10/10, at least. A must buy for all who likes to solve mysteries, manage your "troops" (in that game "minions"), combine that with private life of the characters and search for an harder challenge than other detective games.

Black Closet was a Surprise in several Ways and mostly a positive one.
Actually, I was expecting a Kind Of Visual Novell with a tricky intrigue story at an elite high school. It does exist, but it is not so exciting itself that the Game would be worthwhile for it.
The Whole thing is Interesting by Connecting with other Game element: Managing a Student Representation, Improving the Skills of his Fellow Contestants and dating sim.
In doing so, I also learned what "Yuri" means. The student representation of a Pure Girls ' School is headed. There are only female Relationships, "Yuri." (People looking forward to visual "fan service" are discouraged the Game, however, as little to non-existent)
The individual Game Element is well connected to another. There are quite a few interactions. Other Ways often have surprising But happy ways never have illogical effects. It takes some Thought and Experience to react properly and master the Game.
You will be Rewarded with a unique Gaming experience in a World full of Intrigue, Betrayal, Murder, Friendship, Fidelity and Love. The Different Characters in the student Representation and their different Perspectives on the World and the Plot are implemented in a Variety of ways. This is especially important for this reason.
Add to that a large Dose of indie charm. You notice how much Work and Love the Developers have invested in their Game and created something Unique with little Means and many Ideas. You can love it or hate it or enjoy the Trip easily. Anyway, you have to acknowledge the Performance and courage of the Developers.
