  • story

    199 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    46% positive mentions, 51% neutral mentions, 3% negative mentions

    The story of this game is widely praised for its unique, engaging, and darkly humorous narrative that blends romance, horror, and interactive storytelling. Players appreciate the branching storylines, strong character development, immersive voice acting, and the chatroom-based format, though some find the dialogue options limited and certain plot elements overly focused on specific characters.

    • “The story is immersive with a perfect balance of comedy, and I love the level of autonomy in dialogue and how it made me feel like my choices mattered.”
    • “The story was outstanding and heartwarming while being incredibly twisted at the same time.”
    • “There weren't a wide range of dialogue options, which makes some of the story/dialogue feel a little bit unnatural to me personally.”
    • “You're basically forced to follow the story and even when you do have a choice, it's to choose the finale of the story, for the 'good' or 'bad' ending; or you can decide to be mean to your love interest to get a secret ending.”
    • “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.”

  • humor

    • “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).”
