  • story
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as emotionally impactful but lacking depth in certain areas, with some character elements introduced without sufficient background, leaving players wanting more context. While the narrative is simple yet layered, and the dialogue is engaging, the pacing towards the end can feel rushed, muddling the plot. Overall, it is praised for its beautiful storytelling and art direction, making it a compelling experience for fans of story-driven games.

    • “The whole game feels like a hand-crafted labor of love: the art direction is awesome, though occasionally hard to follow in more complex scenes; the story and characters are simple but also layered with emotions; the dialogue is at turns witty or insightful but never filler; and the epilogue hit me in the feels.”
    • “This is an absolute masterpiece of a storytelling game.”
    • “The story behind every figure is very vivid and beautiful, perhaps in a way that makes you cry from both sadness and compassion.”
    • “This game isn't the most fleshed-out, gameplay-wise nor story-wise.”
    • “Additionally, there are certain things about the characters that are just thrown at the reader/player with no background or story/world-building that would make these points have the impact they should.”
    • “Pacing near the end gets too fast and the plot gets muddled a bit because of it.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “It's really good, captivating and has astonishing artwork.”
    • “It's not horrible... it's just kind of boring, and the character designs need a little more 'oomph' to stand out from the mind-numbing orange and purple art style and backgrounds.”
    • “Since there's no voice work (understandable from a game budget perspective), the game relies on written dialogue to carry the day, and the writing just isn't solid enough to snap me out of the dullness of the art style.”
