  • graphics7 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed feedback; while some users appreciate the cute artwork and unique art style, others note that it feels unfinished and reminiscent of an alpha version. Despite the presence of glitches, the visuals are generally considered easy on the eyes and capable of immersing players in the game's environment. Suggestions for improvement include a third-person camera perspective to enhance the aesthetic experience.

    • “The art style is easy on the eyes and the game serves its purpose of immersing you in a place of the chosen language.”
    • “The city has a very unique art style and there are some very pretty areas to discover.”
    • “It does look and feel like it's in alpha, but I always appreciate the information in the game first over graphics. Despite the glitches, I really hope this game will move forward to become the first choice of its type.”
    • “The artwork is cute, the concept is okay, but it isn't executed very well.”
    • “If the camera was in a third-person view, the game would open up more and the aesthetic could really shine with the designs and the music.”
  • story6 mentions

    The story is described as intriguing but lacks clarity and depth, with players feeling frustrated by slow-paced quests that hinder their understanding of the narrative. While the mystery element is appreciated, many reviewers believe the game is still in an early stage and lacks a cohesive storyline, leaving them uncertain about the overall plot.

    • “Intriguing story.”
    • “I think this is a good start to a game, but I feel at its current stage, it should be labeled alpha, and it should have a storyline.”
    • “The learning more and more to get the full context is a good idea and feels kind of like a mystery, but when you have to do the really slow walk through the entire town before you get anything more of the story, it just gets annoying.”
    • “I would have liked to get through the story enough to understand it, but I'm guessing I'm not missing much.”
    • “Right now, I can't tell if there is even a storyline.”
  • stability4 mentions

    The game is criticized for its instability, with users reporting numerous bugs, crashes, and a clunky experience that suggests it is still in an alpha state. While some appreciate the game's potential and prioritize its informational content over graphics, the overall consensus is that it currently lacks the stability expected from a fully released title.

    • “It's shallow, buggy, clunky, and not worth more than like $3 USD.”
    • “I thought it wouldn't be this buggy, I guess.”
    • “It is buggy and at times it crashes, though it is unfair to expect much more from a game that has been released for five days.”
