Made by Innocent Grey, Cartagra ~Affliction of the Soul~ is a horror visual novel that is the first game in the Kara no Shoujo universe. Even though it came before Kara no Shoujo, the game was localized and released to western readers three years after its sequel. Which is in turn the reason why I kept putting off reading the franchise for so long. Finally with Kara no Shoujo 2 scheduled to be released to the west this month, it’s time to dive deeper into this series.
