  • character development

    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is generally praised for its depth and complexity, with many players appreciating the growth and change of the characters throughout the narrative.

    • “I absolutely loved the storyline of this game - the developers did a fantastic job with character development.”

  • grinding

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews highlight that while the game's story and soundtrack are praised, the grinding elements can feel tedious and repetitive, particularly in aspects like traveling between planets and resource management.

    • “Many of the gameplay segments come across as forced or tedious in a way that artificially extended the length of the game for the sake of simply giving you something to do.”
    • “The only negative thing I have to say about this game is that the traveling between planets can become a bit tedious.”
  • humor

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its humor, with characters like Eda and Jun eliciting frequent laughter from players.

Overall, it offers a mix of joyful and poignant moments, creating a memorable experience that intertwines humor with deeper emotional themes.

    • “The game is very funny, I was laughing all the time!”
    • “A strong story full of feelings and humor!”
    • “The relationships formed between characters, each with their own troubling past, provide a tense, humorous, and sad atmosphere.”
  • replayability

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is mixed; while some players find it lacking due to repetitive puzzles and poorly designed achievements, others appreciate the freedom of choice and emotional depth that encourage multiple playthroughs. Overall, it offers a short but impactful experience that can be revisited for its varied decision-making paths.

    • “Despite only taking around 10 hours for a first playthrough, the game offers lots of replayability due to its many choices and the player's freedom to go or not go anywhere their limited resources take them.”
    • “A worthy investment for a deeply emotional 10-hour journey that, thanks to its many decisions, offers notable replay value.”
    • “Infinitely replayable, especially in multiplayer mode.”
    • “This game certainly has a lot of flaws. The gameplay boils down to two things: first, 'puzzles' that are in reality more or less all the same. This, however, did not really impact my experience because of the ambiance and music. Said puzzles last barely 10 seconds on average and, while it turns the game into a glorified walking simulator, it gave me a chill experience. However, this made me feel like tension was very poorly handled, but it only takes up a very small amount of the game. The second gameplay aspect is the ship managing part, which involves fuel, armor, and some economy. If you play at your own pace, it shouldn't be a problem. However, they've made the achievements of this game borderline awful to complete, and if you actually want to do achievement hunting, there are meaningless challenges to tackle. For a game with little to no replayability, it's sad to see such gimmicky achievements.”
    • “For a game with little to no replayability, it's sad to see such gimmicky achievements.”
    • “While the game offers a deeply emotional 10-hour journey, the replay value is questionable due to the limited variety in gameplay.”
  • optimization

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is well-optimized, delivering smooth performance even on mid-range hardware, with users rating its performance at 8/10. The vibrant scenes and lively character performances further enhance the overall experience.

    • “The game runs smoothly with solid performance (Windows 7, GTX 1050 Ti, 8GB RAM, 1080p resolution).”
    • “Game performance: 8/10”
    • “Every scene is brought to life and the performances are full of life, allowing the character's personality to shine even brighter.”
  • stability

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game is praised for its bug-free experience and solid technical performance, though it does have a default 30 fps cap intended to mitigate motion sickness. However, users have reported known issues, particularly with dual-monitor setups and framerate problems, indicating that stability may vary for some players. The development team is acknowledged for their responsiveness to these concerns.

    • “Congratulations to the development team for mixing a first-rate soundtrack and sound puzzles with a bug-free experience.”
    • “Technically, it runs great, but there is a default FPS lock that caps it to 30 FPS to help with motion sickness for some players.”
    • “I tried all the troubleshooting steps, I contacted support and found out that it was a known issue (particularly for dual-monitor setups). I made a post asking for insight, and they said they were working on it and would get back to me.”
    • “Looking around, it seems there are a lot of other buggy issues, most commonly some pretty bad framerate problems.”
