When you look online about Dramatical Murder, you notice that it is a game that has polarizing opinions. It appears to be a game that people either love and think is fantastic or they hate it. I have long had a love for visual novel style games so I was very excited to finally get the chance to check this out. Let me start by saying that Dramatical Murder is a boys love game. It does not hold back either and if you are put off by homosexual love scenes or love and sex scenes in general.
This may not be the game for you. I will say that there is a version of the game for the PlayStation Vita that has a lower age rating and has the sex scenes removed along with the violence and blood toned down. The main character of this visual novel game is Aoba. Aoba is your typical guy who just wants to get by. His world is made more complicated by the fact that the island he calls home has been bought by a corporation who have privatized the island.
As a result, the residents like Aoba are forced to live in extremely cramped conditions. Aoba is pretty easy going, but he gets drawn into this extreme game called Rhyme. People in his town start going missing and when they return they are very strange. Aoba gets pulled into this mystery that lets him not just find out about what is really going on, but also meet interesting people.
The storytelling in Dramatical Murder is fantastic and I found Aoba to be a very interesting character. It is not just a case of finding out what the deal is with this game Rhyme and what is happening to people.
It is also a case of finding out about Aoba himself. Like all other visual novel games, Dramatical Murder features a compelling cast of characters. These people that Aoba comes across he can either help or destroy!
The choices that you make will steer you in a particular direction and will end up with you pairing up with a particular guy. I think that this adds a lot of replay value to the game and it is interesting to see how the story changes depending on what you do. For example, the first time I played the game I went with Noiz and the setting of the game was drastically different from the next time I played through it and chose Mink.
As I mentioned this is certainly a game that is not safe for work and it has a mature rating for a reason. None of them, however, resulted in the victim bleeding profusely from the eyes, ears and mouth before flying through the nearest plate-glass window, which is…. Murder By Phone has so many great kills. They were cheesy and amazing and kind of funny all at the same time.
The idea of being killed via phone line is pretty out there and then they bring fiber-optics into the mix, maybe I am not so eager for Google to come to my city with Google Fiber after all.
It should be noted this is the second horror movie I have watched for the birth year challenge that involved phones. The first was Hotline with Lynda Carter. The Eighties were such a weird time, every now and again a director with an otherwise respectable track record would turn up behind the camera of something out of their normal wheelhouse.
I'm talking about the likes of John Houston with Phobia , or J. Apparently Canadian film producers were particularly persuasive. Add to that a score by John Barry and starring roles for Richard Chamberlain and John Houseman, and you've got quite the line-up.
Needless to say the film does not live up to the talent both on and…. Equally hokey and charming "Murder by Phone" is a movie where the villain is a phone, well kind of.
No it's not telemarketers, this phone call will actually kill you, as we see in an early scene where a young women decides to answer a ringing pay phone. The authorities seem to think this was a heart attack despite the movie showing us the women lighting on fire and basically exploding, which is not as far as I know typical of heart attacks. Our star is Richard Chamberlain "The Last Wave" and despite the authorities lack of interest he takes it upon himself to find out WTF is going on with these fucking phones.
The investigation is watchable but the…. Review by Carlo V. Obviously I'm here for the former, not so much the latter, though! Letterboxd is an independent service created by a small team, and we rely mostly on the support of our members to maintain our site and apps.

The plot is a broad parody or spoof of the traditional country-house whodunit, familiar to mystery fiction fans of classics such as Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. A group of five renowned detectives, each accompanied by a relative or associate, is invited to "dinner and a murder" by the mysterious Lionel Twain.
