  • story
    170 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of the game is described as rich, deep, and filled with intriguing plot twists, keeping players engaged throughout. While many reviewers praised the character development and the gripping narrative, some expressed concerns over problematic themes and pacing issues that detracted from the overall experience. Despite its flaws, the game is recommended for fans of visual novels and psychological thrillers, particularly those who enjoy complex puzzles intertwined with the storyline.

    • “The story in this game is rich and deep.”
    • “The pacing was great and the story was gripping.”
    • “A fun and suspenseful death game story that kept me hooked until the end.”
    • “But I can literally never recommend this game or any of the other games in this series to anyone because of the violently transphobic trope which is an unskippable part of the story.”
    • “This game's story was certainly as ambitious as I could ever hope, but I don't think it succeeded.”
    • “It's a missed opportunity because the tagline is so interesting and the story falls flat due to the lack of creative ability of the writer.”
  • music
    50 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received widespread praise for its quality and ability to enhance immersion, with many reviewers highlighting the excellent soundtrack and its effective pacing. While some noted that certain tracks can be overly bassy or repetitive, the overall consensus is that the music significantly contributes to the game's atmosphere and storytelling. However, there is disappointment regarding the absence of an official soundtrack for purchase and a desire for a jukebox feature to enjoy the music outside of gameplay.

    • “The best thing I have to say is that BMC has an awesome soundtrack.”
    • “The music is really good (in my opinion) and kept me immersed in the story.”
    • “The music sounded beautiful, and the background artwork is great.”
    • “The music is serviceable.”
    • “It's disappointing that the OST isn't for sale.”
    • “Meanwhile, having been stuck listening to it far longer than I would have liked, I am sick of the soundtrack that plays during puzzles.”
  • gameplay
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is primarily text-based, focusing on reading and making decisions, with limited interactive elements that can feel unintuitive and frustrating. While the flowchart mechanic and some puzzle-solving aspects offer moments of engagement, they often lack clarity and depth, leading to a less satisfying experience overall. Fans of visual novels and "death games" may find some enjoyment, but expectations should be tempered, as it does not deliver the same level of gameplay complexity as titles like Danganronpa or Zero Escape.

    • “Overall, I reached the true ending in a little under 11 hours of gameplay, but your playtime may vary depending on your reading speed and how you handle some of the puzzles.”
    • “This is definitely an incredibly enjoyable experience for fans of 'death games' like Danganronpa and Zero Escape; Zero Escape especially so as it has lots of similarities to that franchise in terms of plot and gameplay but it is also unique in its own right!”
    • “I really liked the helmet hacking mechanic (playing as the mastermind has its perks!).”
    • “It suffers from a serious lack of any gameplay (beyond the route choices it's literally just reading) but it does the job.”
    • “The mechanics that govern the branching paths are unintuitive and often nonsensical.”
    • “Almost all of the gameplay is reading text and thinking about a puzzle, the story, or an important decision.”
  • graphics
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the stunning artwork and detailed backgrounds, while others find them lacking, especially towards the end. Despite these criticisms, many note the consistency and variety in character designs, which help maintain visual appeal throughout the gameplay. Overall, while the graphics may not be the standout feature, they do not significantly detract from the overall experience.

    • “The artwork was stunning.”
    • “The music sounded beautiful, and the background artwork is great.”
    • “The backgrounds are quite detailed, and the character visuals really pop out, with each character having their own unique flair to their designs.”
    • “If the story, graphics, setting, and gameplay were a bit more decent, I would have stayed in the game a bit longer, but for now there is nothing in it I could hang on to complete this story.”
    • “There are aspects of the game such as graphics that are a little lacking, since the focus is on the story.”
    • “Graphics: they aren't the best and get worse near the end of the game.”
  • character development
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is highlighted through distinct character designs that effectively convey personality traits, allowing players to connect with them even before dialogue occurs. However, opinions on the aesthetic quality of these designs vary, with some finding them unappealing.

    • “I also really love the character design in BMC, as each character stands out and instantly communicates their personality before you even see them speak.”
    • “The art was... okay, even if I found the character designs kind of ugly.”
  • emotional
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players have expressed mixed feelings about the emotional impact of the game, noting that while it offers intrigue and suspense, the lack of proper trigger warnings can negatively affect those with personal trauma. Additionally, some reviewers felt a lack of emotional investment in the characters and found the resolutions unsatisfying, despite an overall positive experience. Frustrations with gameplay mechanics also detracted from the emotional engagement.

  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is well-crafted and subtle, enhancing the experience without being overly intrusive or forced.

    • “The author shares good humor without forcing it into your face.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is characterized by a tense and chaotic energy, ensuring that every branch of the narrative flowchart remains engaging. Players find satisfaction in witnessing the various outcomes, particularly when characters face their deserved consequences.

    • “This ultimately leads to a tense and chaotic atmosphere where no branch of the flowchart feels dull, just as witnessing every outcome and finally seeing a character get their inevitable comeuppance is sweetly satisfying.”
