Ghost Train (Game)

I watched the TV Movie adaption of Jiro Akagawa's Ghost Train! This tv movie was shown as part of TV Asahi's Saturday Night at the Mysteries. This is just going to be me quickly comparing the short story and film, so spoilers. One difference I can mention that isn't a spoiler: There's 7 people missing instead of 8 like in the short story! Not sure why this change was made...

Spoilers for short story/film

One big difference I felt was the increased focus on the townsfolk. You get a lot more time with them which lets them show off their personalities. It also makes the mystery obvious that they are all behind it, but maybe it's because I already knew what was going on. There's changes in how certain events play out and how clues get found, but it's ultimately the same story. The rock throw is now given to the kid instead of Uno and in a different scene, a lucky shot in either situation though.

Don't have many thoughts on it, kind of in and out, next up is the game!
