Our take on Black Chapter
The store presentation foregrounds the demon mystery, lethal puzzles, and multiple endings, but gives no sense of how broad the investigation or branching structure is. The premise is specific, while the overall scope remains unclear.
What is Black Chapter?
Black Chapter is a mystery-horror game about Evan Gray, a high school student whose class becomes trapped inside Durhal Cathedral during a field trip.
A demon pretending to be human is hiding among the classmates, and players must uncover the truth before it eliminates everyone. The game combines exploration of the cathedral with clue finding and puzzle solving. Its puzzles can be lethal, so deaths are part of the investigation.
Choices made during the story determine what happens to the classmates, with multiple possible endings. The game draws inspiration from Japanese RPG Maker classics while mixing in modern components. Players must work with their friends, investigate a string of murders, and seek a way to deal with the threat inside the cathedral.
