    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is considered decent but not groundbreaking, complementing the visually appealing art. While it may not be life-changing, the game's free availability makes it worth trying for those interested in the author's story.

    • “The art is pretty and the music is okay, making it a worthwhile experience, especially since the game is free.”
    • “The music is forgettable and doesn't add much to the overall experience of the game.”
    • “While the visuals are appealing, the soundtrack feels repetitive and uninspired.”
    • “The game's music lacks variety and fails to create an engaging atmosphere.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as short and interesting, but it suffers from unclear dialogue attribution, making it difficult for players to follow who is speaking and disrupting immersion.

    • “The story is short and interesting.”
    • “The game didn't properly display who was and/or wasn't talking, and the shift between the narrator and Adam himself was, at best, unclear; at worst, it completely took me out of the immersion and story.”
