“Great story and music.”
“Loop and struggle against the terror, and you might see the finale...? The short and dense story includes Cthulhu mythos.”
“A great entry in the series with a heartfelt story and tons of fun references.”
“Other than that, the story is self-contained and quite short.”
“If you've played other games in the series, you'll find the story confusing at first because Sally and Lily already graduated college, which should contradict the events of the previous game, 'Case 03: True Cannibal Boy.' This does build on a previous plot point in that game, namely that the elder gods can end the world at any time.”
“Its only $3 to buy, so I'd say it's worth it if a short story about a lady making a time travel deal with Cthulhu to get with her girl crush sounds interesting to you.”
