“This game is very short, however the story, premise, and writing was interesting.”
“The gruesome story unfolds in a perfectly slow-paced and interesting way, keeping me thoroughly engaged.”
“With its intriguing story, interesting characters, plot twists, and surprising endings, it's a game that leaves a lasting impression.”
“The plot twist comes way too fast and you don't get any time to empathize or feel bad for the characters.”
“The main story feels rushed and often takes leaps of logic to make sense.”
“The game even acknowledges that its logic does not make sense and you have a choice to point it out. Although this might explain how rushed it feels, it comes across as a weird writing choice. The VN says you can decide which ending is real despite having clear labels like true, good, and false ending. I enjoyed the "what if" scenario more than the main story, but it could have used more fleshing out and an actual romance plot.”
