story
327 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story of *Lynne* centers on a teenage girl grappling with anxiety, nightmares, and societal pressures, presenting a dark and introspective character study. While the narrative is linear and lacks interactivity, it effectively conveys themes of mental health and self-identity through minimalist imagery and a haunting atmosphere. Despite some critiques regarding pacing and unresolved plot points, many reviewers found the storytelling compelling and relatable, making it a noteworthy experience for fans of psychological horror.
“Lynne tells an extremely well-told story about a teenage girl and all her thoughts, desires, fears, and insecurities.”
“Overall, I highly recommend giving this visual novel a read because it will grip you throughout while also acting out possible relatable past events making this a worthy awareness novel; it is also free but I am sure many who have read this already will happily agree they would pay the cost of a cup of coffee for this so if you have yet to indulge in an ebi-hime story what better place to start?”
“The story uses a fascinating mixture of psychological horror and the everyday life of a teenager.”
“The story is weak, even if well written, and doesn't work that well.”
“There's simply too many things in the story that go unexplained, which makes the ending feel rushed and nonsensical.”
“The story just ends rather abruptly.”
