  • story
    90 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story has received mixed reviews, with some praising its interesting twists and well-developed characters, while others criticize its lack of meaningful choices and immersion due to a predetermined narrative. Many reviewers noted that the story starts strong but becomes convoluted and anti-climactic towards the end, often feeling more like a novel than a true "choose your own adventure." Overall, while some found it engaging and beautifully written, others felt it fell short of expectations, particularly in terms of player agency and pacing.

    • “Not my usual kind of review, but honestly this story is amazing and all of the characters shine through in their own way.”
    • “This story was just great and I won't spoil anything but the replayability is tied into the story.”
    • “The characters, story, and world-building are quite vivid, something I don't expect too much of in a visual novel.”
    • “As soon as you get a bit further into the story, the choices come around less and less often.”
    • “In short, you’re told a story, and you’re told what you should think, which is not how a choose-your-own-adventure should go.”
    • “The story drags on at times, elucidating mundane and relatively unimportant details, only to blast through the convoluted and arguably silly ending in a single paragraph.”
  • humor
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, while there are moments of effective humor, the execution can be hit-or-miss, leading to mixed reactions among players.

    • “I'd have never guessed from the lame anime pictures and generic descriptions that I'd get a cynical, self-deprecating narrator, who sprinkles in plenty of dark humor.”
