    • “Great game, enjoyable story line to follow, with fun features all round.”

    • “Just a note: I'm having a small issue with the game; the story art cutscenes stutter, both the art scenes and the sounds, and then it skips automatically in the game. The whole gameplay is smooth sailing, just in the cutscenes in the story. Although I find it minor, I hope the devs fix it. I'm playing on an old laptop model, by the way. Having all that said, I'm having a great time in this game.”
