There are way too many visual novels out there, and this is one of them.

This is more of a game than the others. At least it is way more interactive.

From the description in the article, it sounds more like what you would have called an "adventure game" ~30 years ago. And going by this quote:

> In practice, you will end up dying quite a few times until you find out the nature of the curse that ends up killing you, which is a hint on how you can avoid its effects.

...it seems to be more in the tradition of the Sierra adventures (try to cross street -> get hit by a car).
