What Makes BAD END Stand Out
It's rumored that those who play 'BAD END'- a mobile Visual Novel will die in REAL LIFE if they make the wrong decision in the game itself.
— Story —
Kyuuhei Inui has never been one to take rumors as anything but that – rumors, until his best friend had died while playing the game…
Kyuuhei is driven to find out the truth behind his friend's mysterious death by any means possible.
After exhausting all ideas, he decided the only way to find out the truth is to play 'BAD END' himself.
Will Kyuuhei risk his life to get to the bottom of the game's mystery or will he meet his demise?

Community Insight:
We just bought this app today, and got the True Ending in our first playthrough. If you are looking for a short visual novel to waste your time on, then this is for you. If you are looking for something with a super complex story that explains every single plothole ever, then stay away. Oh yeah, if you are looking for a good horror VN, then this is also, not for you, as the horror aspect is pretty limited. However, if you like poking jabs at stupid things and laughing at them then you would love this. The translation goofs up a bit sometimes, and honestly it's just amazing. Go see it for yourself, it's beautiful. Did you know this was also released on Steam? We didn't either.
Pretty decent story, however we wish there were more choices and options within the game, as soon as you make a wrong decision you lose. So that should definitely change imo, otherwise it's pretty good.
E V E R Y T H we N G S C O L D H E L P M E.
We're a bit disappointed because as it continues it hasn't really come across as a "horror" game so much as a "dramatic mystery survial" game (and at one point even a main character makes that observation!), but we have to admit, it seems to be continuing longer and better than we would have expected. It also apparently has quite a few multiple endings. We would be very interested in seeing what the publisher's other apps like this are like once they get then translated into English as well (we hope). All in all, not a bad way to spend a spare $1. Just think of it as the equivalent of picking up an unknown used book at a local library/used/thrift/garage/store sale for a dollar just for fun and you'll be finr. ;).
Worth WAYYYYY more than the app itself have in store.
We honestly love this visual novel! It has really good graphics and music and a really amazing story! (With multiple endings!) even though it was short we were still so happy and amazed by it! And honestly to be it deserves to be more then only one dollar! And if this company makes more English visual novels then we would defiantly buy them and play them because they are just so amazing at making theses games.
If you don't want to end up like us DONT play.
We're glad we waited for the improved english patch before playing this. The games previous engrish, though comical, made it pretty difficult for us to become immersed in the story. It'd be nice if the achievements were in english, but that's not really a big deal. Overall we'd say it's pretty good and we'd recommend playing it.
We absolutely love this game!! Yes the English is not done that good BUT the game it's self makes up for it!!! We made contact with the developers to see if they were going to make a English version and they said yes!!! We could not wait to buy this game!!! We do not care what others say about this game!! It is a very well unique game!! Please make more horror games that are in English. We are a huge fan and would love to see the rest of your work translated into to English!!! We would definitely buy more!!! You have done a outstanding job in creating this game!!! Thank You, Snowflake195.
We are the new English editor for this VN so don't rate it just yet. We just finished with the editing and it should be patched by the programming team soon. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed working on it! ^_^.
Hi everyone, we're just here to tell you this is a great game. We already passed it and the ending is great we loved the graphics but they did have some spelling mistakes. This game is worth buying.
Look guys we just bought this awesome but we still haven't played it yet, but this game is freaking awesome from looks of it guys u have got to try this game out . It's definitely worth one dollar.
Wow… The English is really bad. This needs some serious editing. We were really looking forward to this too. Bought it as soon as we saw it got an English translation. Their other VN, A Scar of the Doll, didn't even have this problem when we read it (which we recommend btw). Please fix this one up.
