“The stories are interesting, deep, and easy to follow. The narrative is pretty good as well, the soundtrack is beautiful and fits quite well. The gameplay is simple except for some interesting minigames, and you can tell that the developers have put a lot of thought and effort into making this game.”
“Major lack of gameplay - sadly not every game can be perfect, but to be fair it is $2.50.”
“Among the worst gameplay I've experienced.”
“To review it as a 'game' as such, would do it no justice, as there are not that many gameplay elements to actually call it a game.”
