The story follows a girl named Yvette who experiences mysterious dreams linked to forgotten events, blending psychological elements with a unique, unfolding narrative that exceeds typical budget game expectations. It is praised for its originality and intriguing plot progression, though some voice acting and ending presentation receive minor criticism. Overall, the story is considered the standout aspect, offering an engaging and unusual experience beyond simple point-and-click mechanics.
- “Coming into this game blind is the best way to play it, but if you have to know what the story is about, it is about a girl named Yvette who has been having strange dreams trying to communicate with her about what happened to her that she can't remember.”
- “I love how the story progresses, resolving into something that is out of this world and makes sense at the same time.”
- “Anyway, as I said, I still have a little way to go to finish it, but it's so good, and the story is so original and intriguing that I can't help but give it the thumbs up.”
- “Coming into this game blind is the best way to play it, but if you have to know what the story is about, it is one about a girl named Yvette who has been having these strange dreams that are trying to communicate with her about what had happened to her that she can't remember.”
- “I guess you could say it's a psychological game in a way, you follow the character through her daily routine while she has episodes of memory loss, kinda has that 'looping effect' that isn't too original of a concept, but the game does something with the plot that I personally didn't expect.”
- “Short and simple as a point-and-click, but it's more about story than pointing and clicking.”
