The story is a captivating blend of dark themes reminiscent of "Madoka Magica" and "Danganronpa," featuring a character-driven narrative set in a unique universe with a murder mystery format. While the plot is linear and offers limited choices, the diverse cast of 16 characters and the suspenseful events keep players engaged, leaving them eager for the next chapter. Overall, the game successfully combines beautiful art with a compelling storyline, making it a recommended experience for fans of visual novels.
- “The story is full of suspense and the art is gorgeous.”
- “Still, this game does exactly what it set out to do: it lays out a new universe, tells a grim story, and leaves the hook for the next chapter, and I don't feel that my time was wasted, nor would your money be wasted.”
- “Essentially, the story reminds me of the traditional murder mystery where you have several characters and someone is killing them one at a time, granted, with a unique take on it, using some strange witch lore that is unlike anything else.”
- “The story is short and not as choice-driven as I was expecting, but the 16 characters were really interesting and full of personality.”
- “However, it's worth noting that this is only the first chapter of the story, so don't expect everything to wrap up conclusively.”
- “The story itself is told in a very linear fashion and features limited opportunities to alter the plot, which is something I'd personally like to see more of, especially since the plot involves social deduction elements.”
