  • story
    106 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is a complex adaptation of Gaston Leroux's "The Phantom of the Opera," praised for its emotional depth and character exploration, though it takes significant liberties with the source material. While some players appreciate the darker elements and the engaging narrative, others feel that certain changes detract from the original's essence, particularly in the portrayal of key characters like Erik and Christine. Overall, it is considered a worthwhile experience for fans of the story, despite its flaws.

    • “A story-oriented adventure that captures the essence of the original through gaming.”
    • “Despite the high regard I held for the original works, this version entertains, offers an additional new ending instead of just the canon ending of the book, and most of all left me thinking of it long after I finished the story.”
    • “If a story can manage to make me think about it days after I finished it, that's a story well told in my book.”
    • “Lastly, the story takes odd liberties with the source material.”
    • “This isn't necessarily a deal breaker for me, but all they really had to do was tell the Leroux story accurately and this game would've been praised to high heaven and back by fans.”
    • “While I generally recommend it - the story is heart-wrenching, tense, and interesting all the way through - the game adaptation is... bad.”
  • music
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many praising its quality and ability to complement the story progression, although some noted that the tracks loop frequently, which can feel repetitive. Fans of the "Phantom of the Opera" appreciate the atmospheric elements, describing the soundtrack as both spooky and chill, enhancing the overall experience. However, there are calls for more background music in certain scenes to enrich the gameplay further.

    • “The music is actually pretty good.”
    • “With a soundtrack that complements the story progression, this is by far one of the best visual novels I have played this year.”
    • “Characters are well made, the music is on point; the atmosphere gets spooky when it's necessary, but it can also be pretty chill to play.”
    • “Almost all music pieces loop after 10-15 seconds, oftentimes less.”
    • “I wish they had background music for some of the scenes and the controls were the biggest complaint... I played with my PS4 controller and I could pick something up with X but then I would have to press the O button to 'reset' it so it wouldn't pause the game.”
    • “And this is a game about music, mind!”
  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their amazing art style and vibrant visuals, which enhance the overall experience.

    • “Firstly, the art style is a notable aspect.”
  • emotional
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is described as heart-wrenching and tense, with a compelling story that resonates deeply. However, some users feel that the adaptation fails to effectively convey the original emotional weight of the source material, particularly due to changes in character dynamics. Overall, while the narrative is engaging, the execution leaves much to be desired.

    • “While I generally recommend it - the story is heart-wrenching, tense, and interesting all the way through - the game adaptation is... bad.”
    • “Like I wrote before: it's tense, it's intriguing, and it's heartbreaking.”
    • “Crying over the Persian at 3 am challenge (gone wrong) (gone emotional)”
  • humor
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted through engaging conversations and clever sound effects, which add a lighthearted touch to the experience. However, some players feel that the developers missed the deeper tragedy of the character Erik, leading to a disconnect between the intended humor and the original narrative's themes. Overall, while the humor is appreciated, it may not fully align with the story's more serious undertones.

    • “Conversations are useful, and funny.”
    • “The artwork is great and the humor with sound effects is a nice touch.”
  • stability
