  • story
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is praised for its strong emotional engagement and compelling storytelling, making it enjoyable for players seeking an immersive narrative experience. However, some reviewers express disappointment over the lack of meaningful choices, feeling constrained by the original source material, which limits narrative flexibility despite the writer's evident skill.

    • “The storytelling is really strong, so if you're playing to get emotionally invested rather than cleverly beat the game, it honestly is great.”
    • “But if you're here to enjoy a good story?”
    • “I understand the story is inspired by the original text, but I was hoping for more flexibility to change the narrative.”
    • “I know it goes this way more or less in the original story, but if so, why present me with the choice of saying I don't want to steal only to show that choice didn't matter mere moments later?”
    • “This writer for sure can craft a story, but I feel like they were just a bit boxed in with this.”
