Will do a review of this, and hope to have it done within a few days.--Alexandra^IDV 12:52, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Lead

• I would probably try to avoid borderline-repetition of information about the monsters in two places in the same sentence ("escaping a monster-infested mansion", "pursued by monsters"). "Pursued by monsters" is implied in the first bit, already.
• The Necronomicon should be written in italics and capitalized - titles of fictional creative works within creative works are formatted the same way as real creative works. This applies for later mentions of it in the article body, as well.

Gameplay

• I get what you're going for, but is it appropriate to call it "twin-stick" when the controls use D-pads rather than analogue sticks?
• I believe "D-pads" (as opposed to "d-pads") is the appropriate way of referring to them?
• "These creatures can either be defeated with bullets or by fleeing." - can they actually be "defeated" by fleeing them?
• The gameplay screenshot's caption is a bit generic - describing what gameplay is being shown, for example "The player fights or flees monsters encountered while traversing the mansion." would be more helpful.

Development

• Do we have any information on the development team - name of director, designer, etc? Did anyone of note work on it? If not, that's fine.

Reception

• "easy difficulty" is funny wording, maybe something like "low difficulty level" would work better?
• Link sprites to sprite (computer graphics) or change it to something less technical like "graphics" or "character art" - it's the kind of term that we can't reasonably expect readers to know.
• I feel like giving more context for Ritualistic Madness would be helpful - who made it? When was it made? In what way was it influenced by Innsmouth no Yakata?

Other issues that are not strictly necessary to fix to meet the GA criteria, but that I recommend addressing anyway

• The Jeremy Parish source is only distributed through YouTube - change the website parameter to "via"
• You're inconsistent in reference formatting - either link publishers throughout, or don't do it at all. Famitsu is the name of the magazine/work, and should be entered as such.
• It is helpful to add a language=Japanese parameter to Japanese-language references.
• The images do not have any alt texts added - these help make the article more accessible to people with impaired vision, and would be a very good addition.

Looking pretty good! There are a few issues, but nothing too major. I'll put this on hold for a week - ping me when you have addressed the issues above, or if you have any questions.--Alexandra^IDV 10:59, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, I will promote the article to GA now~!--Alexandra^IDV 16:16, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
