The gameplay stands out with its unique mechanics, distinct characters, and multiple alternate endings based on player choices, making it highly engaging. Players appreciate the fun and immersive experience, though some wish for more deductive gameplay elements similar to timed trials in the early chapters. Overall, the game’s balance of storytelling and gameplay has been well-received and praised for its replayability and character depth.
- “The gameplay is very unique compared to other visual-novel-esque games, and the characters are all distinct and unique. You're bound to love one, if not all of them.”
- “Really fun mechanics and numerous alternate endings to unlock depending on your choices.”
- “I wish there was more 'deductive gameplay' during the 'game' that occurs in the latter half of chapter 1, similar to the first trial where you must deduce a solution with a timer. If timers are a barrier for players, they could be turned off like in other visual novels, for example, 'Devil'.”
- “Wish we had more 'deductive gameplay' during the 'game' that occurs in the latter half of chapter 1, like how the first trial has you deduce a solution with a timer going down to do it. If timers are a barrier for players, it could be turned off like in another visual novel (e.g., 'The Devil').”
