“I was so hooked on the story that I didn't want to quit playing - this is most definitely worth the price and I highly suggest adding this to your library.”
“Great art, great music, and great story with amazing characters who are always searching for their own 'raison d'être.' My favorite one is Fal, and I feel related to him a lot. I love how he loves his sister and would do anything for her. Thanks God; I won't say I'm really crying when seeing him have moved on and have a new family.”
“A really unique game with interesting mechanics, memorable characters, and a story that unfolds at a very nice pace!”
“Noir is also my favorite, but sadly, although I played the entire game, I still don't know much about her backstory, especially the reason why she has many scars on her body.”
“If fleshed out with more gameplay mechanics and a broader story, this could be the next Ib or Mad Father!”
“I got it on sale and experienced so much content, yet I haven't even touched the extra story after 8-10 hours of playing.”
