But that wasnt always the case.

The Smiling Manis a point-and-click adventure that plays out like a visual novel.
Theres still plenty of interaction, though.
But the character animations are still visually striking with bold colors.
The expressive Japanese voice acting also makes conversations feel lively, but I wished there was an English dub.
Still, one playthrough is enough for its gruesome and heartbreaking mystery to leave an emotional impact.
Thankfully, though, with no bag over my head.
