The story of Kejora is a charming but simplistic anime-like narrative centered on a group of kids encountering supernatural elements, reminiscent of time-loop and coming-of-age tales. While visually impressive and conceptually intriguing, the writing suffers from unclear plot development, awkward translation or writing issues, and inconsistent tone, which detracts from the overall storytelling experience. The game leans more toward a fairy tale style rather than the darker, more dramatic themes some players hoped for.
- “Kejora is a short puzzle game with really beautiful aesthetics and a story that feels a lot like an anime movie.”
- “The general plot is also a nice seed of an idea for a unique version of a time-loop story.”
- “It's an adventure story about a group of kids, where Kejora is the leader of the pack.”
- “The problem really seems to me that the majority of the budget went into the animation and the gameplay, and the story as delivered is just rough.”
- “However, since this is a short story-based game, the killer to it being easy to recommend is unfortunately the writing.”
- “Those are the micro oddities but the wider plot also has a lot of puzzling writing decisions on the macro level in both tone and story logic.”
