  • story
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally well-received, praised for its engaging narrative and innovative use of social media elements that enhance the experience. However, opinions are divided on the ending, with some finding it unsatisfactory or disconnected from the story's buildup, while others appreciate the twists and layers revealed upon replay. Overall, the narrative is described as compelling and immersive, though it could benefit from a more cohesive conclusion.

    • “The depth of the story along with the changing social media behavior was also a pleasant surprise.”
    • “The story drew me in as it unfolded on the main character's phone, which was an interesting way of reflecting how we get our information and conclusions from in real life.”
    • “Together with the pretty art style and the mind games it played with me, I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who loves games with a compelling story.”
    • “I will say that I did enjoy the epilogue, though it does come across as a cheap way to throw in a plot twist at the end.”
    • “The ending though... one half of the ending is good at wrapping up the loose ends in the story, but the other is just way out there.”
    • “That's more or less what I got, the story was fine... up until the ending which was just so stupid and a great way to just kill the entire story and all atmosphere and mood built up until that point.”
  • atmosphere
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is generally praised for its strong sound design and immersive qualities, creating a beautiful yet eerie environment that enhances the overall experience.

    • “If the ending was good and kept on with how everything else was, I'd probably be more able to look past all the other negative stuff because then it probably would've been an enjoyable game, but for me the ending just killed all atmosphere and mood that had been built up until that point.”
    • “The world oozes with a mysterious atmosphere that feels simultaneously familiar and joyful yet strange and sad.”

    • “But with a low price like this, some pretty funny moments, an unexpectedly scary little moment that really got me good, convincing sound design (if badly mixed at times) and an unusual, interesting subject matter at hand in both levels of the script, I can still wholeheartedly recommend this unexpectedly thoughtful, relaxing, and cute yet genuinely mature little adventure.”
    • “It's a great little mystery which actually gave me a good jump scare (and my cat, when I shrieked), and the ending literally made me bust up laughing out loud.”

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game somewhat tedious, particularly due to the lack of a running mechanic, which makes the process feel slower and more cumbersome than it should be.

    • “That's usually okay with me, but there's no way to run in the game, so that made it a bit more tedious than it needed to be.”
