The game features an interesting and lengthy story that explores themes of humanity, monsters, and the interplay between past and future, with multiple branching routes allowing players to choose their narrative path. While the plot development is noted to be slow, the overall tone is surprisingly light and positive, contrasting with initial expectations of a darker narrative. Players can also customize character appearances for fun, although some content requires additional downloads.
“This was a story about humans and monsters, disease and haunting, and the past and the future.”
“This game told a wonderful story, picturing a place retreat away from the world.”
“Gotta say it's a pretty lovely story, can't wait to buy the DLC patch.”
“The storyline is very long; it might take a lot of time.”
“Only one thing may not satisfy all the gal-game players: the development of the plot is relatively slow. Additionally, those who want 18+ content need to download the patch themselves.”
“The description makes it sound like a depressing horror story, but it is fairly light-themed and positive for the most part.”
