The story of this game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its emotional depth and plot twists, while others found it confusing, lacking coherence, or overly simplistic. Many noted that the narrative touches on serious real-life issues, making it more poignant, but also criticized the execution and pacing, particularly regarding the inclusion of elements like the clown, which felt disconnected from the main plot. Overall, while some players enjoyed the storytelling and atmosphere, others felt it fell short compared to previous titles from the developer.
“What this game does have, however, is an interesting story and some fun unlockable endings to discover.”
“I also really loved Night Delivery and Hanako, but this one had great storytelling and the situations that the little boy had to go through were making me feel quite helpless.”
“Out of all the Chilla's Art games, this one feels the most real in some story aspects as it deals with a really heavy and emotional situation, something that still sadly happens to this day, and they handled it in a serious way which helps bring awareness to this topic.”
“Sadly, the story is pretty weak as well, and while there are interesting topics to explore here, I don't think the execution was very good.”
“First of all, the story doesn't make any sense; everything that happens and every decision your character makes makes no sense, the endings are also as nonsensical as they could get.”
“The meat of this game should be its story, but it's simply lacking.”
