  • story
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is highly praised for its depth, humor, and emotional resonance, with players enjoying the witty dialogue and the intricate, branching narratives that encourage multiple playthroughs to uncover hidden secrets and alternative outcomes. The writing is noted for its charm and cleverness, appealing particularly to those who appreciate subtle humor and character-driven storytelling. Overall, the game is recommended for its engaging plot and the rewarding experience of exploring its rich narrative landscape.

    • “The story changes constantly based on how you approach each situation, and it takes a lot of pride in its characters.”
    • “This is a breezy, yet deep indie experience that uses the mechanics of a platform game to tell the kind of story you'd usually get in a point and click or text adventure, charmingly realized and with a lot to say, especially if you avail yourself of repeated plays to find out what else you could have done and what ending you could have achieved.”
    • “I absolutely love games that tell a story and have humor and heart, and this delivers all that in spades.”
    • “Half of the time in Quantum Witch, I was running (or jumping) around, trying to find the next location where I needed to be or click on something for the story to continue.”
    • “A lot of supernatural – or quantum-sciencey – things happen in the story that I didn’t really understand, possibly because I didn’t see all possible scenes.”
    • “Clearly a beautifully thought out and highly complex process of interweaving storylines that even a tiny thoughtless choice can have a big impact on.”
  • humor
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is a standout feature, blending witty, fourth-wall-breaking jokes with deeper, often dark themes about freedom and choice.

Overall, players frequently find themselves laughing out loud, enjoying a mix of quirky, heartfelt moments and clever storytelling.

    • “The characters are lovable and memorable, and the writing is just perfect. It's funny and witty but can also be deep and, most importantly, extremely gay.”
    • “It made me laugh frequently!”
    • “The humor is fantastic and it'll break a fourth wall or two.”
  • music
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its atmospheric quality and catchy melodies, enhancing the overall experience. Reviewers highlight the handcrafted soundtrack as stunning and fitting for the game's style, with some even comparing it to iconic scores like that of Chrono Trigger.

    • “(You might also think that maybe after 4-5 hours of constant play the music may get a bit repetitive but nope, so kudos on that front too)”
    • “The passion and knowledge demonstrated through the writing and the clear work through of trauma but also joy is very strongly experienced and I found myself moved by the relationships, interactions, and the music too.”

    • “The graphics and music feel perfect for the style of game and environments.”

  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a short initial playthrough that encourages replayability, allowing players to explore a richly detailed world and uncover various story-altering secrets. It features a unique butterfly-effect time-loop mechanic that blends platforming with narrative depth, making it a charming indie experience, though it may not satisfy those seeking complex mechanics or action-oriented gameplay.

    • “One playthrough is kind of short, but the best aspect of the gameplay is to keep replaying the game to explore the world and find all the ways (some are obvious, some are well-hidden secrets) that can impact the story to unexpected results.”
    • “A wonderful queer gem based around what I would describe as a butterfly-effect time-loop mechanic.”
    • “This is a breezy, yet deep indie experience that uses the mechanics of a platform game to tell the kind of story you'd usually get in a point-and-click or text adventure. It's charmingly realized and has a lot to say, especially if you take the time to replay and discover what else you could have done and what endings you could have achieved.”
    • “Not for players looking for mechanical depth or action.”
  • emotional
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game elicits a wide range of emotions, blending humor and poignant moments effectively, making it a unique and emotionally honest experience. While the writing is clever and filled with subtle references, it may resonate more with certain audiences, particularly those familiar with British humor. Players are encouraged to share the journey, enhancing the emotional impact through shared experiences.

    • “The writing in the game is wonderful, although I do think you need to be of a certain age and British to catch all the subtle jokes and references. But in between the skeletons and fun curse words ('oh, bumnoise') is a story with a lot of funny moments and some heart-wrenching moments.”
    • “Buy a copy for yourself and another for a friend or partner and share Ren's emotional journey.”
    • “One of the most unique and emotionally honest games of the year.”

    • “Truly a little gem of a game with endless replay value at a great price.”
    • “Replayability through branching 'waveform' outcomes and multiple endings.”
    • “The game offers some replayability through branching 'waveform' outcomes and multiple endings, but it quickly feels repetitive after a few playthroughs.”
    • “While there are different endings to explore, the core gameplay remains largely the same, diminishing the overall replay value.”
