Many appreciate the art style and atmosphere, suggesting that the narrative could improve with further chapters and polish. Overall, there is a sense of optimism for future developments, despite current shortcomings.
“I enjoyed it a lot; I think that once the story is finished and an extra layer of polish is added, this game can really be an RPG Maker gem.”
“Can't wait to see what's to come; love the art style and the story!”
“The story is so good, and I love the characters!”
“The pacing is off and so is the story.”
“The story itself doesn't make sense at some points, and honestly, it's just not worth the almost $10. I don't see any news about chapter 3, so either the dev abandoned the project or pushed it aside. Please spend your money on something else.”
“As it is, the story hasn't developed very far, and the characters haven't really had time to grow yet. There are only 2 chapters out, and the experience took me exactly 60 minutes. The chapters are pretty short, and I think that's where some of the negative reviews are coming from.”
