    • “Overall nice game but it is by far one of the most boring gameplay experiences I've ever had.”

  • story264 mentions

    The story of the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its depth, character development, and engaging narrative.

While the storyline is often described as interesting and cohesive, there are criticisms regarding its pacing and the amount of reading required, leading to mixed feelings about its overall execution.

    • “The story is great, it's very interesting and I love the character interactions and dialogues.”
    • “The only thing that made me quit the game is the storyline (not a fan of reading long text, and the background music makes the reader sleepy).”
