  • story
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is described as intriguing but ultimately lacking depth, with insufficient world-building and character development. Players found the narrative engaging yet felt that the gameplay mechanics, such as object interaction, detracted from the experience, leading to potential story-breaking moments. While there are multiple endings to explore, many reviewers expressed a desire for a more fleshed-out and polished narrative to enhance the overall experience.

    • “It is very story-driven, but I was super drawn to the narrative.”
    • “> The threads you follow will either weave a story where you triumph… or forever unravel your entire consciousness.”
    • “However, I thought the story lacked depth: there wasn't enough world-building and the characters were not fully developed.”
    • “Honestly, the story seemed rushed.”
    • “But my decision at the end to deactivate the AI got completely ignored by the story.”
  • graphics
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally considered average, with some notable inconsistencies, particularly in reflections and distant objects. Players recommend adjusting the settings to high immediately, as the default low settings can make the screen difficult to read. Despite a few bugs, the overall graphical performance is satisfactory, especially on higher-end hardware like the RTX 3080, which can maintain a steady frame rate.

    • “On my RTX 3080, I was getting a steady 90 frames per second, with only a frame drop here and there on high graphical settings.”
    • “This game is graphically well done and has good voice acting.”
    • “Beware though: the game starts out on low graphical settings and the screen is so blurry it's almost impossible to read.”
    • “First thing you need to do when you start the game is set the game's graphic setting to high to be able to read anything you may need in the game.”
    • “The graphics are average.”
