Seven Mysterious Mansions: Shivery Smile (Kei Route #3) [English Translated] [Dreamcast 2000]
0Had to use a guide once to find the not at all hidden switch that is never pointed at or at all. Also, dying in this game makes you skip through all the intro bits of the game that you can't skip, and if you saved before a lengthy cutscene, you also can't skip it. That's not at all uncommon for these types of games back in the day, but even with speed-up it took a decent bit.
Any other future deaths/game overs will be edited around.
The computer that allows you to look up information is an interesting thing. Although it was mostly useless during this playthrough, maybe Reina's adventure, a more puzzle take, will make more use to it.
One more part to Kei's route to come, and the next part after that will be Reina's route.

Nanatsu no Hikan: Senritsu no Bishō (Japanese: 七つの秘館 戦慄の微笑, lit. "Seven Mysterious Mansions: Shivery Smile") is a survival horror video game developed and published by Koei for the Sega Dreamcast. It was released on January 20, 2000, in Japan. Plans for a western release were planned but later cancelled. The game is a sequel to the 1996 Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn game Nanatsu no Hikan.
The player can control one of two characters: Kei and Reina. The game can be played in either first person, third person, or fixed camera angle (e.g. Resident Evil) views. Kei's levels are more action based, while Reina's are more adventure-based.
There is also a unique multiplayer cooperative mode where one player controls Kei and the other Reina (a feature not seen in survival horror games until the 2005 game ObsCure) This mode is different from the single-player mode, as it is much shorter and objectives, monsters, and events are all altered.
Friends Kei and Reina land on a mysterious island and search for their friend Ernest. But along the way, they encounter many different monsters in the different mansions they discover. It's up to them to defeat these foes, find their friend, and understand the mysteries of the island.
