The game's story begins with a weak premise but evolves into a captivating narrative that explores themes of life after death and purgatory, culminating in a true ending that ties up loose ends and leaves players eager for a sequel. While the initial character development and pacing may falter, the multiple story paths and engaging writing ultimately provide depth and replayability, making the experience rewarding. The unique art style and strong character backstories further enhance the storytelling, creating a memorable journey through the afterlife.
- “But then the true ending is unlocked and expands the game's story to a very interesting and somewhat innovative theme. The true ending ties up all the loose ends of the game and presents an interesting theme with a very interesting outcome that leaves the player wanting more. For this ending, the game is well worth it and makes me excited for the sequel!”
- “I don’t want to spoil anything with the story, but I enjoyed the take on purgatory, God, and the afterlife that the developers created and will be looking forward to the next installment of this game.”
- “A delightful trip through purgatory with an intriguing story and a strong cast.”
- “However, even with such great potential, the game fails at the beginning; the number of characters is small, the story is weak, and the game becomes more of a point-and-click than a novel.”
- “I feel like she kinda sucked after learning her backstory (the character didn't deserve that, not gonna lie...) and just really couldn't sympathize with her.”
- “I'm not a big fan of gameplay in my visual novels myself, so I don't think the point-and-click elements added anything to my experience. In fact, I think I would have liked the story more without them.”
