This review of Psychopomp High is really great.
Do you enjoy playful banter? Because that’s what 85% of this game is. Sometimes it will get a chuckle out of you, or perhaps you’ll find the characters a bit more endearing, but then there are going to be sometimes where you just want to slap the three characters upside the head. It kind of boarders on the “too much” side of snark, but none of the characters feel flat. All three of them have unique histories, and while they may seem cookie cutter on the surface they actually have some deep struggles on the inside. While you’re most likely not going through what they are, you’re still able to connect pretty quickly when they finally open up. While the story is solely focused on the romance between you and one of the other characters of your choice, there is still a lot of dark topics covered by the Psychopomps. It goes from light-hearted teen romance to death and blood pretty quick. The world Psychopomp High is set in isn’t fully explained, nor is it the focus of the game, but you do feel as if the world is completely fleshed out, giving the rest of the game a solid if not a bit surreal base. While gameplay is limited to a few choices you choose on screen, Psychopomp High is a complex story with all the fluff of teen romance and yet all the dark and gritty details of life and death. It’s a surprisingly pleasant mix that you’ll have to try for yourself.
