+4
- Strong character writing with immersive story and well-developed personalities, especially the main protagonist.
- Interesting and meaningful minigames that add player engagement and influence relationships.
- Regular updates with a good amount of content for the price, offering a solid experience for fans of death game and mystery visual novels.
- The game has a slow start that may not appeal to everyone, requiring patience to get into the main story and character depth.
- Some minigames, especially the rhythm/boating game, are frustratingly difficult and could use improvement.
- Art style is unique but somewhat simple and may not appeal to all players; some characters feel underdeveloped due to large cast size.

The story is a slow-burning, immersive experience that gradually draws players in, with key plot developments occurring after an initial buildup. While the linear narrative limits character exploration choices, the engaging plot and intriguing characters keep players invested and eager to see how the story unfolds.
“Very easy to get immersed in the story.”
“Basically, the slow burn style of things works really well for the story at hand.”
“Like the game's story, it takes some time to really kick off, so don't go into this expecting it to shine from the get-go, but after a couple of chapters I really did get invested.”
“It takes some time to reach the real meat of the story.”
“Overall, I think the demo really only scratches the surface of things, and while I suppose that is how a demo tends to be, it just doesn't have the time to pull you into the story.”
“The game is mainly linear and thus decides when to give you backstory of characters - you don't really actively choose which character to explore, which is one of the weak points of this game.”
