  • The game features beautiful pixel-art graphics, atmospheric music, and a melancholic tone that effectively convey its story and setting.
  • Unique and engaging gameplay with minigame-style combat and dodge mechanics reminiscent of Undertale, providing a fun and strategic battle experience.
  • The story is emotional and evocative, with impactful choices affecting endings and main character actions, alongside thoughtful worldbuilding and side content.
  • Some story presentation issues include explicit messaging, limited character development, and inconsistent NPC reactions during backtracking, which can reduce immersion.
  • The gameplay balance and difficulty can feel uneven, with the Challenge Mode being underwhelming and certain enemy mechanics sometimes frustrating or overly difficult.
  • Writing occasionally over-explains themes and presents an optimistic view on depression and suicide that may feel unrealistic or discordant to some players.

    33% positive mentions, 42% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The story is generally praised for its emotional depth, atmosphere, and impactful dark themes, resonating well with players. However, some immersion is lost due to repetitive side quests and limited character reactions to player choices. Overall, it offers a compelling narrative with meaningful decision-making, despite occasional presentation flaws.

    • “The overall story and main character's thoughts resonate with me fairly well.”
    • “A delightful, emotional, story-driven game with light JRPG and shoot 'em up elements.”
    • “The dark tone of the story and your decisions during can really make an impact.”
    • “Some side quests expect you to re-explore earlier areas, but many characters don't behave differently towards choices you've made, which reduced my immersion with the story.”
    • “I think the story should have leaned a lot more into that; given that Faye literally killed herself... until the ending when it's revealed she didn't.”
    • “I feel like it would have worked better if she did die; it would have shown the permanence of such a decision, and - depending on how it's written - could imply Gabriel is dead too, which has a lot of story implications.”

    The gameplay is praised for its smooth combat mechanics, dodge mini-games, and varied, connected levels with strategic RPG elements, though some find the RPG mechanics shallow and combat balance inconsistent.

    • “I enjoyed both the combat mechanics and dodge mini-games, despite agreeing with the issues stated by other reviewers.”
    • “The levels are varied but feel connected, and the gameplay revolves around navigating the environment.”
    • “The gameplay, on the other hand, excites less enthusiasm.”
    • “The RPG mechanics are quite shallow, and the balance of combat, including the tools given to the player and the enemies, feels all over the place.”
    • “The combat uses a dodging minigame similar to Undertale, but here it's more focused on RPG mechanics and strategy.”

Overall, the game's story combines atmosphere and humor effectively, enhancing the player experience.

    • “The 'quest complete' sound effect playing after them does take me out of it a little, but it's funny so it's fine lmao. The story in general is great, too - the game is so atmospheric and auauuugghh, it's so good.”
