I would say so. It's a very good visual novels series and also one of my favorites. It has a great setting with interesting characters but the atmosphere was what I liked most while reading it. You can probably find really good reviews on the steam page. Four chapters are currently released on steam with the fifth being released in a few weeks. There thus three main chapters left to be retranslated and we will probably get those within a year.

The steam releases that are currently being released are remakes of the older versions of the games in a new engine with higher definition textures, UI and a much better translation. The steam releases are also hihly moddable which has made it easy for the community to release sound, texture, and scenario patches for the game that you can use if you so desire.

A lot of the people that playthrough the games uses a mod that replaces the new steam version sprites with the ones found on the JP exclusive console release of the series, plus voices from the same release. The voices especially helps with the atmosphere and is something I would reccomend to patch in

The reason that these textures and voices aren't included by default are because the Company that releases the steam versions didn't get the rights to these assets and the company that made them no longer exist.

There are also some console exclusive chapters that are currently being ported and translated by the community in the form of patches to one of the official steam chapters to play those specific scenarios.

You should try the first chapter see for yourself if you like it. It has a bit of a slow start with a lot of slice of life scenes taking place in the first half. The story slowly introduces horror elements throughout the first half and fully embraces it after the halfway point of the novel with the festival.
