    • “I absolutely loved the art style and storytelling that was put into this short 1-hour game.”

    • “Initially, the story is a bit 'all over the place', in that vague artsy way that many narrative short games often are.”
    • “The player character is an absolute trash (along with his father) and I didn't really like the story all that much.”

  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game is generally minimal, with most achievements being easy to obtain. However, some players find certain tasks, like collecting lore through searching for library books, to be tedious and unnecessarily slow down progression.

    • “Like, for example, I think reading bits of exposition in the form of library books that you go around searching for is possibly one of the most tedious ways you could introduce lore to players (unless it's bonus lore for fun while progressing a main storyline, and not a compulsory action to progress the main storyline itself).”
    • “All of the achievements are pretty easy to get, except one which is slightly tedious.”
  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
