“Overall, while I found the story enjoyable, I wished there were more opportunities to branch off from the main narrative.”
“However, if you can forgive the plot being a bit forced and there being a bit less choices that really matter than some choice games, it was overall a good tale with a strong romantic chivalrous knight errant tone and style that I found very charming.”
“This story is kind of mysterious with the supernatural aspect, but it doesn't really explain it fully to you.”
“Didn't like this story at the end.”
“The story and ending were a bit forced.”
“The epilogue is just a quick summary of what happens to your character after their mission and it feels so rushed, makes me not even care about what happened to my own character.”
