The story is described as intriguing, filled with mystery, suspense, and dark twists, following the aftermath of Oliver's escape with the help of an inquisitor girl. While it features familiar characters, it introduces a new cast and diverges from Oliver's narrative, offering interactive elements and planned updates that will expand the plot through various routes and dungeons. Currently, only three short chapters are available, serving as a setup for a more extensive story that promises morally complex characters and engaging plot developments.
“The story is pretty intriguing; you can clearly see the mystery, suspense, and the dark twisted elements.”
“The visual novel tricks you and it has some insane plot twists everywhere in the story, so it's a very good read and interaction.”
“The story isn't yet finished, but I feel that Lostwood Games does very interesting and morally grey characters very well.”
“In the current state of the game, there are only three very small chapters, lasting about 7-10 minutes each, with not much story or gameplay.”
“All that has been released so far is a build-up to the rest of the story - a hook.”
“This is not a continuation of Oliver's story.”
