    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Please buy and play this game and be patient with it and consult the walkthrough a diligent individual took real-life time to make for you to finish the game without splitting too many hairs about how to deal with the many puzzles sprinkled within to make you feel frustrated when you're so invested in the story.”

Overall, the outfit-based stat changes provide a clever and satisfying twist to the gameplay experience.

By equipping the right combo, we can overcome social situations, solve different puzzles, and progress the story.”
