    The story is widely praised for its unique, engaging, and emotionally compelling narrative, enriched by well-developed characters and excellent voice acting. While some find certain routes or plot elements repetitive or uneven, the multiple branching paths, mix of dark and light themes, and blend of humor and drama keep players invested and eager to explore further. Overall, it stands out as a strong, memorable visual novel experience, especially impressive for a free game.

    • “Awesome story and writing, had me terrified of my decisions constantly.”
    • “The story was outstanding and heartwarming while being incredibly twisted at the same time.”
    • “The story runs deep, pulling you into a world where every character feels alive and every twist keeps you hooked.”
    • “No scenes ever seem in order because the characters will repeat their flat story beats to you before following it up with meeting for the first time.”
    • “Goreboy felt to me like an OC with plot armor that the game is really trying to convince you is cool and scary, but it's okay, because he has a really sad backstory and look he's actually really caring and nice (as Angel's dialog about their past tries to convince us). When in reality he is unlikeable and both of his endings are uncomfortable.”
    • “The story the game tells feels like it can't really decide if it wants to be a sweet, emotional and bittersweet romance, or about the psychology behind serious topics like murder.”
  • humor

    The game's humor is widely praised for being funny, quirky, and engaging, often blending silly, edgy, and dark comedy with strong character-driven dialogue.

    • “I think it's a solid game so far, genuinely had me laughing so hard I was crying at one stupid joke.”
    • “The story had me at the edge of my seat and the dialog between the different characters was hilarious.”
    • “It honestly felt like I was in a real Discord server talking to the characters, and I can genuinely say this is the most immersed I've been in a game in a while (plus it occasionally judging you for your choices was hilarious to me, especially when I got my ending with Angel <3).”

    The game's graphics are widely praised for their charming and distinctive art style, which combines cuteness with eerie greyscale elements, creating an engaging and visually appealing aesthetic. While some users noted minor inconsistencies or a subjective preference against the style, most found the visuals, character designs, and overall graphical presentation impressive and a key factor in their enjoyment. The unique Discord-inspired UI and customization options further enhance the immersive and personalized visual experience.

    • “This game was absolute cinema, I loved the art style and story.”
    • “The characters are super likable and the art style is cute, and the UI is made like Discord but with a vaporwave look to it.”
    • “Each character has so much personality and the art style is so pretty but also keeps some sort of greyscale for the eerie side of things.”
    • “The art style is really not my cup of tea, which might just be a me issue considering I've been to art school, but I think it's fair to say that it's not consistent.”
    • “The artstyle could be a little better but overall, fun to play.”
    • “I can imagine the visuals could be better, but you grow used to them over time (and by the end, the artwork was absolutely gorgeous).”

    The gameplay is praised for its unique and immersive mechanics that simulate a Discord server, offering a fun and engaging experience centered around chatting and character interaction. While some find it minimal and more akin to an interactive story, many appreciate the smooth mechanics, interesting premise, and well-developed characters. However, a few critiques mention limited customization options and occasional disconnect between gameplay and story emphasis.

    • “The gameplay is quite unique, it's like I'm really in their server.”
    • “This game is genuinely so good, I love all the mechanics and it’s actually so fun even without the DLCs. 1000% would recommend.”
    • “Amazing gameplay loop, unique premise, adorable and interesting characters, and gorgeous art and writing.”
    • “Gameplay 1/10”
    • “The premise of somehow finding your way into a serial killer chat room was really interesting and unique to me but also really easy to forget after like five minutes of playing. I honestly think the devs forgot the premise too because each time we cut away from the gameplay it just tries to emphasise how 'crazy' the concept is.”
    • “And it pisses me off to no end that the core of this premise isn't even a game mechanic!”

Overall, the music complements the game’s tone but may not suit all tastes perfectly.

    • “The art, the music and the voice acting were all awesome!!”
    • “Characters are interesting and relatable, the voice acting is well done, the background music is subtle and fills the silence but isn't overwhelming, and the art style is very cute (and what drew me in).”
    • “Great design, great writing, and great music!!!”
    • “My only complaint is that at least in the route I chose, there was no music playing for the emotional moments, or it was the same looped soundtracks.”
    • “The character creator felt lagging and extremely counter-intuitive; the music is annoying and it would have been better if there wasn't any at all.”
    • “The music was kind of repetitive and bland.”

    • “Best visual novel I've played in ages, I love Ronin so much the fact he's transmasc like me means the world to me, the dialogue is amazing and always feels natural, the character designs are amazing it's so cool how characters feel like they'd exist in the real world while maintaining that iconic design flare.”
    • “Oh my goodness this game is amazing - great character design, great story, great pacing, (feels like a real Discord server), and it's just so amazing.”
    • “Angel was the primary reason for the character design issues I had and I don't think I will ever like her.”

  • replayability

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 28% neutral mentions, 29% negative mentions

    • “Lots of replayability, good writing, although you need to go down more routes to get the depth.”
    • “Secondly, it seemed like there wasn't much replay value within the game, mostly because I only liked a few characters and had a strong moral compass regarding the actions the characters take.”
    • “But then I started hating them too because this game seriously lacks replayability and is way too linear to play more than once or twice.”
  • stability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game generally runs stably with only minor glitches, but some users experience significant stability issues such as text scrolling glitches, story progression bugs, visual errors, and crashes that can disrupt gameplay.

    • “I'm looking forward to playing through more routes, though I might wait for the expanded edition due to a number of stability issues I encountered while playing (weird glitches scrolling through text, story not advancing when it should, visual glitches, multiple crashes).”
  • optimization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    Optimization is currently lacking, likely due to the game's quick development timeline, causing noticeable performance issues and choppy gameplay; improvements are expected in future, more polished versions.

    • “I'm assuming this is just a Ren'Py (or other engine) issue and that since this game was made in about 3 months, once a more refined version of the game is released, performance issues like chugging will be reduced through optimization improvements.”
    • “I'm assuming this is just a Ren'Py (or other engine) issue and that since this game was made in like... 3 months, once a more refined version of the game comes out, the chugging will be reduced with optimization improvements.”
