story14 positive mentions
  • The story is interesting and engaging, with an action-thriller vibe reminiscent of The Bourne Identity.
  • Minimalist and unique visual style with some well-done CG art and atmospheric soundtrack that enhances the mood.
  • Free to play kinetic visual novel format makes it accessible, with potential for further development in future phases.
  • Numerous grammar, spelling, and formatting errors significantly disrupt the reading experience.
  • Inconsistent and low-quality visuals, including use of unrelated real-life photos that do not match the story setting.
  • Lack of interactivity and decision-making limits it to more of a read-through novel, with excessive and sometimes over-explanatory dialogue.

  • story

    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally praised for being interesting and engaging, with a good and fitting ending, though it is noted for dragging in places due to excessive detail and some writing flaws like grammatical errors. Many reviewers highlight that the game lacks interactive elements, functioning more as a visual novel or a written story rather than a traditional game, with some finding the use of real-life images mismatched with the narrative. Overall, the plot's self-discovery theme and gradual unfolding appeal to readers despite pacing and presentation criticisms.

    • “But if you stick with it, the plot is interesting, and the ending is good and fitting.”
    • “A free to play visual novel with a good story, you should get it now!”
    • “The story is great and it was exciting to read through from beginning to end.”
    • “They are real-life pictures, so they don't match the vibe, and none of the images go together as they depict places all over the world, which is very unfitting for the plot and scenery of the game itself.”
    • “It is really just a visual novel that does not allow any game elements such as free decisions or a change in the course of the story.”
    • “The story drags because of the asinine level of unnecessary detail making sections that should be exciting into extremely long narrative that go on and on and on.”

  • graphics

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are generally praised for their thoughtful and appealing art style, with some beautiful and cool-looking character designs. The artwork effectively enhances the game's mysterious atmosphere, using visual elements like featureless faces to support the theme of amnesia, making the overall presentation visually engaging.

    • “Some of the artwork is really beautiful and thoughtful, and the characters are also cool-looking.”
    • “Allblack Phase 1 is a free game divided into 3 chapters; the graphics are very good considering the theme of the game.”
    • “The graphics add to the mystery by having featureless faces in some scenes while at other moments the characters that have a purpose are visually complete, which was effective at portraying the amnesia.”
    • “The graphics add to the mystery by having featureless faces in some scenes while at other moments the characters that have a purpose are visually complete, which, for me, was effective at portraying the amnesia.”
