      At the beginning, Death even mentions giving you a body that becomes your physical avatar, since this game was the first time that we see what the guest looks like. Plus, I feel like being stuck in first person would’ve cause some issues with the camera based on the technology at the time, as it wouldn’t allow as much opportunity for free exploration or checking your surroundings.

      For those who are clueless, that is the name of a character in the host club anime and manga who likes cats and occult stuff...and I'm like 85% sure I spelled that last name wrong.

    The show has NEVER made it to the USA and there are NO console games, just some lost mobile games. There is a Spanish dub, however named "La Escuela de Terror". It's possible Televix recorded an English dub, but it's lost now.
