    • “This is honestly one of the best games I've ever played, the story was beautiful, the art is amazing and most of the puzzles were not hard (though pumpkin and hammer ones were kinda tricky). I was hooked after playing it for a couple of minutes.”
    • “The story, the art, the music, and the overall gaming experience *chef kiss* ughhh I can't believe I cried again, although I was actually very sad that it was short, but I still love it. Same to be said with the other game Frankenstein cuz that made me cry as well.”

    • “The "story" is jumbled and banal.”
    • “The English translation is pretty atrocious, to the point that the story doesn't make a lot of sense.”

    81 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game delivers a deeply emotional and heartwarming story that resonates strongly with players, often moving them to tears through its touching narrative and memorable ending. While some mention minor issues with translation and puzzle clarity, the compelling storyline, beautiful artwork, and fitting soundtrack create a powerful, immersive experience that many find unforgettable.

  • graphics
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics receive widespread praise for their detailed, beautiful, and captivating art style, which effectively complements the compelling storyline. While some users note occasional lower-quality visuals in certain areas and basic graphics at times, overall the visuals are seen as a strong point, with notable improvements compared to previous titles. Minor issues with interface elements occasionally obscuring graphics do not significantly detract from the generally positive impression.

    • “The graphics are amazing, and you can see that attention has been given to every single detail.”
    • “This game is really good: the story is gripping and so relatable, the puzzles are not too easy and quite diverse so not to bore the user, the 3D graphics are brilliant.”
    • “Beautiful storytelling with pretty graphics, especially bearing in mind that this is a free game.”
    • “However, the visuals of the rooms themselves were of much lower quality.”

    • “Childish graphics, uninstalled in the first 3 minutes.”
  • gameplay
    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for being engaging, intuitive, and balanced in challenge, allowing players to solve puzzles without excessive hints. However, some critiques highlight unclear instructions, occasional glitches, and frustrating elements like poor translations and repetitive or clunky mechanics. Overall, the gameplay effectively supports the emotional and compelling storyline, though it can be hampered by design and communication issues.

    • “Characters you care about, gripping story, gameplay elements challenging enough to be entertaining, but not too difficult to the point of tedium.”
    • “1st of the story, at first it's boring but after a while you can totally feel the suspense and the emotion. I almost cried at the end. The art during cutscenes is truly beautiful, and the gameplay: I actually solved the puzzles without much use of hints, unlike other games where it's impossible to solve without help. Here you will surely get it if you just try hard enough.”
    • “Storyline is excellent and the gameplay is challenging yet solvable.”
    • “Some mini-games have no explanations, the hints are insulting, and the gameplay is redundant as well as tiresome.”
    • “Truly awful, worst gameplay I've ever seen.”
    • “Very bad gameplay experience in general.”
  • monetization
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game primarily relies on ads for monetization, offering the full experience for free with optional ad-watched hints and occasional unskippable ads between chapters. While many appreciate the absence of forced in-app purchases, some users find the ad placement intrusive and disruptive to gameplay, with on-screen ads sometimes obstructing content and affecting the overall pacing. A paid option to remove ads is available, but experiences with ads vary, impacting player enjoyment differently.

    • “I was pleasantly surprised that a game like this doesn't force you to make in-app purchases!”
    • “The ads before getting hints are fair, but the constant ads on the screen make seeing the game area difficult.”
    • “I have constant ads in the top left corner and it continually loads the payment screen so I didn't really get very far and lost patience.”
    • “Thank god I didn't pay to remove ads, because it's literally impossible for me to continue, and that's only in the second chapter!”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game generally receives positive feedback, with many users praising it for enhancing the emotional and intense atmosphere of the story. However, some players found the music annoying or the only negative aspect of an otherwise enjoyable experience. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a strong component that complements the game's narrative and visuals.

    • “The story, the art, the music, and the overall gaming experience *chef kiss* ughhh I can't believe I cried again, although I was actually very sad that it was short, but I still love it. Same can be said with the other game Frankenstein because that made me cry as well.”
    • “I love how the story was created and I was really surprised by the ending. The music is also great, making the game more intense even the way the characters were illustrated.”
    • “Story is excellent - I was obviously emotionally invested, and I think the soundtrack worked well for it.”
    • “The music sucks, but that is the only bad thing I can say.”
    • “Complete garbage, annoying music, terrible dialogue and story.”
