    • “Good game, solid amount of playtime, a visual novel game that is short, has audio, and a good plot and playthrough.”
    • “Quick interactive story with some replay value; getting the other two endings takes a few tries.”

    • “Fun time kill for some achievements, but the story was very lackluster and left much to be desired.”
