  • story
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is a charming and whimsical adventure centered around a camping experience for kids, emphasizing friendship and acceptance without romantic elements. While the narrative is uplifting and engaging, it suffers from uneven pacing and incomplete plot points, leaving some story elements unresolved. Overall, it is well-suited for a younger audience, offering an interactive experience that encourages replayability to explore different character interactions.

    • “It's a wholesome adventure with beautiful art and a humorous, uplifting story.”
    • “So cute, so happy, I wish it were longer simply because I cannot accept that I'm done with the story!”
    • “Overall, I thought Camp W was an incredibly charming and well-thought-out game with an interesting plot and nice illustrations.”
    • “- Incomplete storyline elements: we never find out why there is a secret altar in the woods or use any of the items from it again (I think it was from the grandma, but it wasn't very clear to me and it's never brought up again). We never find out how our protagonist got home (all of the known portals home were closed), we never find out why Sophie has a spellbook, we never find out what happens to the masked antagonist, and we never get Mila's (the mom) reaction from Ly/Lil being a powerful witch... in fact, we never hear about Mila after her initial introduction.”
    • “- Random storyline elements: the inclusion of the moss creature, the masked man, and the 'secret agent' reveal felt really, really random and out of place.”
    • “While this story is positive and wholesome without being saccharine and overdone, the pacing felt a bit uneven and a little segmented.”
  • graphics

    • “For those of you unfamiliar with visual novels, there isn’t too much gameplay in the button mashing/controller sense: you’ll get the badges as a result of the activity you pick, not from scoring a certain number of points.”
