I may have to remind people what it is as it came out almost 3 years ago... Fall 2007 I believe. Anyways, it is this game:
My overall opinion is that is a good game and it has very cool and interesting game mechanics and a good story - if you watch Asian horror movies you may say the basic story is kinda typical to the more messed up horror movies from Asia.
Why did it take me almost 3 years to complete then? Well... the part I didn't like is that it forces you to play through both characters so after you finish chapter 5 with one of your characters you can't progress until you play through the first 5 chapters with the second character to get both sides of the story. Which is probably find for most people... but I have a bit of OCD with my video games in the way I have to complete them as much to 100% completion as possible... That and I don't play video games a second time unless its been like 5 years so I don't remember so much of it as a play again. With saying that it took me 23 hrs to complete Ellen's chapters 1-5 then I found out I had to do Keats and I put down the game for a year and a half... After I picked it up it was still to fresh in my memory so I put it down for another year. After that I would do a chapter or two then get too bored with grinding all the monsters to max power up and put it down for another month and repeat. After you get to chapter 6 you go through a bunch of story progression and then do chapter 7 with both characters at once, which is nice being able to switch back and forth easily but more grinding per the level as your doing both characters. They let you capture less in ch. 7 for Ellen though to cut it down a bit. Either way it was bearable and I really just wanted to see the end and get the whole story! XD
Overall it took me 46 hours to play through the game with capturing and upgrading all monsters to maximum, getting all of Ellen's cloaks and all of both of their books for all the levels. If you're not as obsessed about completion as I am then it would probably only take you half the time. And the game is only somewhere in the $20 range now so worth it for the interesting game play and story. :)
And here are 2 game play screen shots I got from online. XD Keats:
