Skip it if you…

- Readers who dislike deliberate narrative deception may find its central storytelling approach frustrating
Our take on The Simen Rumors
The collection gains variety from its fourteen short episodes, but that structure gives up the cohesion of a single sustained narrative. The deliberately loose connections also place more emphasis on interpretation than on building a continuous chain of events.
What is The Simen Rumors?
This visual novel presents fourteen short fantasy-horror stories set around Simen City.
The episodes begin in different contexts, including website submissions, a club’s horror-story gathering, and secret experiments at a facility. Players investigate strange rumors from multiple viewpoints as the narratives progress. The game’s central design uses deception: developments are planned from the outset, and the stories’ connections are less direct than they may first appear. The text adventure combines horror, mystery, detective elements, urban legends, science fiction, grotesque themes, and supernatural material. Its structure focuses on reading, interpreting separate episodes, and discovering how much—or how little—the stories relate to one another.
