  • story
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally praised for its engaging and mysterious elements, complemented by a haunting opening lullaby and a fast-paced narrative that unfolds as players progress. However, some reviewers noted inconsistencies, such as a silly in-story aftereffect that disrupts the otherwise sinister tone, and a bonus chapter that diverges in atmosphere and design, which may not appeal to all players. Overall, while the visuals and gameplay elements are well-received, the story's execution has mixed reviews.

    • “The story is so good and the opening lullaby is sad and haunting.”
    • “Beautiful game and an interesting story!”
    • “The story develops at a cracking pace and you discover pieces of the story as you play along.”
    • “There was an in-story aftereffect that was silly, without basis or explanation and at odds with the sinister tone of the tale, which broke the immersion and ruined the story for me.”
    • “The visuals, audials, and mini-puzzles are amazing, but the story and repetitive adventure play and hidden object scenes are not.”
    • “I have to add though that the bonus chapter is rather different in both story atmosphere and game design, so it may not sit well with everyone.”
  • graphics
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are consistently praised for their stunning quality, with many reviewers highlighting the gorgeous and intricate artwork that ranges from beautiful to eerie. While the visuals are described as high standard and immersive, some users note that the busy scenes can be overwhelming. Overall, the aesthetics receive a perfect score, reinforcing the game's reputation for exceptional graphics.

    • “Their games always have gorgeous, sumptuous graphics of high standard, and this game is no exception.”
    • “Graphics are stunning, alternating from gorgeous to creepy.”
    • “Gorgeous artwork, graphics, and scenes.”
    • “The graphics are overly busy, making it hard to focus on the gameplay.”
    • “The artwork is cluttered and chaotic, which detracts from the overall experience.”
    • “The scenes are filled with too much detail, resulting in a confusing visual experience.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised for its orchestral and choral compositions, which complement the scenes effectively. Reviewers highlight the beautiful melodies, supporting sound effects, and excellent voice acting, noting that it enhances the overall artistic experience typical of Blue Tea's games.

    • “The orchestral/choral music fits the scenes beautifully.”
    • “Beautiful music; supporting sounds; excellent voice acting.”
    • “As all Blue Tea games, this one is wonderful in art, cutscenes, and music.”
  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a well-developed, ominous atmosphere that effectively enhances the overall experience. However, the bonus chapter diverges significantly in both story and design, which may not appeal to all players.

    • “Well-developed ominous atmosphere”
    • “I have to add though that the bonus chapter is rather different in both story atmosphere and game design, so it may not sit well with everyone.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of Cursery is characterized by its fragmented structure, which is considered a less significant aspect due to the limited variety of scenes. However, it excels in other areas, featuring straightforward adventure mechanics that lead to a rich array of engaging conventional puzzles.

    • “It makes up abundantly in every other area, starting from the straightforward adventure game mechanics, which in turn serve as gateways to the plethora of wonderful conventional puzzles.”
    • “Technically, Cursery is a fragmented object game, but this is probably the most downplayed aspect of its gameplay, with only a handful of low-variety scenes.”
