    • “I really appreciate the hand-drawn artwork; it enhances the overall experience.”
    • “The visuals are complemented by a fantastic music score, creating an immersive atmosphere.”

  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization is generally solid, but players have reported significant performance issues during moments when multiple enemies die simultaneously, likely related to the gore animation.
