  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is primarily focused on narrative and emotional engagement rather than complex mechanics, which may disappoint players seeking puzzles or dynamic endings. While the simplicity of the gameplay aligns well with its genre, some reviews criticize the quality of the writing, suggesting it detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the game offers a reflective journey through various themes, but its interactive elements are minimal and may not appeal to all players.

    • “Rather than treating choices as game mechanics, the narrative uses them to deepen the emotional engagement, inviting players to consider the consequences of empathy, detachment, and remembrance.”
    • “It covers a lot of topics ranging from romance, mystery, and quantum mechanics, but handles them all with care, packaged up as a story that will leave you remembering it for a long time after finishing.”
    • “The absence of gameplay complexity might deter those expecting puzzles or multiple dynamic endings, but within its genre context, this simplicity works in its favor.”
    • “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, 'how did something this badly written end up on Steam?'.”
    • “At the time of writing the review, I have not finished the game just yet; to be precise, I've unlocked 5/9 achievements, which suggests that I'm somewhere in the latter half of the gameplay, but to clarify, I've really just been playing for around 9 hours or so, as I sometimes kept the game on while being AFK.”

  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the grinding aspect of visual novels and e-books tedious, likening the experience to a frustratingly slow reading process where each sentence requires a click to advance, detracting from the enjoyment of the narrative.

    • “Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best. Imagine the best novel you ever read, whether it's 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', '2001: A Space Odyssey', or even 'Twilight' (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you want to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages.”
