  • story
    152 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is widely praised for its emotional depth, compelling characters, and impactful choices that resonate with themes of trauma, self-loathing, and the brutality of war. Many reviewers highlight the exceptional writing and immersive experience, noting that it feels more like a narrative than a traditional game, with a gripping plot that keeps players engaged throughout. However, some criticism is directed at certain aspects of the romance options and occasional bugs, but overall, it is considered a must-read for those who appreciate dark, character-driven narratives.

    • “The choices are intriguing, and painful, and feel legitimately impactful. The use of changing perspective to that of people other than the main character is exceptionally done, and always serves the plot well.”
    • “The writing is incredible and the characters and setting had me immediately immersed, and the story and choices had me on the edge of my seat.”
    • “Phenomenally written, it's genuinely more than a story; it's an experience.”
    • “There are some bugs in the story and some of the writing is driving me nuts (particularly the male romance when playing a woman. It's not good).”
    • “Having your main character stop the story in its tracks every 5 pages to monologue about how worthless they are makes me feel like I'm playing as the medieval version of an emo instead of a battle-hardened knight trying to cope with his PTSD.”
    • “Its very linear and honestly doesn't feel like you actually impact the story in any significant way.”
  • emotional
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The characters are fantastic, the story is equally so, and it's probably one of the most emotional choice games I've played.”
    • “The depictions of war and its emotional effects are brutal but honest.”
    • “Insanely heart-wrenching when you've become attached to your choices.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is noted for its tactical mechanics and choice system, which some players find challenging to navigate, leading to frustration with the need for frequent restarts to experiment. While there are calls for improvement, overall sentiment remains positive.

  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is seamlessly integrated, creating a cohesive experience that enhances immersion. Players find that listening to the quoted song at the beginning deepens their connection to the game’s atmosphere.

    • “The music feels as if everything is tailored to filter into one another, and putting on the song that it quotes at the beginning helps me feel more immersed in it, though it's already easy to fall into.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is often criticized for being excessive and overly descriptive, leading to a bland experience rather than genuine laughs. Many users feel that the attempts at humor are forced and detract from the overall enjoyment of the gameplay.
