While the initial pacing is slow and some character developments feel abrupt, the narrative becomes more engaging as players explore different paths, culminating in increasingly disturbing endings. Despite some criticism regarding censorship and pacing, many players find the journey worthwhile, especially after the story gains momentum in the later stages.
“Be warned, those with a fragile heart—this is not a story for everyone and will consume your soul if you let your guard down.”
“Each ending gets more disturbing as you progress, but overall, the journey is worth it if you’re up for a shocking and intense story.”
“The story gets more interesting the more paths you take, and each path will definitely take an hour of your time.”
“The 'common route' is extremely bland when you ignore the efforts it makes to develop the setting: characters have sudden 180s that seemingly come out of nowhere and the plot itself feels rushed.”
“Even with the patch, the amount of restored content is minimal and doesn’t significantly affect the story.”
“To be honest, I looked up what was cut, and my god, it’s definitely not for the faint of heart—especially if you've already played some of the endings and know the direction the original story was supposed to take.”
