I really like the spooky atmosphere here, and the sense of danger lurking everywhere. The backgrounds are beautiful and the characters look great. Personally, I find the audio a bit grating, but I guess that's a matter of taste.
The game definitely hits the "magical" part of the theme, but I'm not sure if there is enough of the "realism" part.
The story is very interesting, and I enjoyed exploring the different branches of it. It's a pity that two paths seem to lead nowhere - one abruptly leads into the credits, and one makes the game shut down without warning.
