RAKKA: WAKE 01 - SOOT

“Both the visuals and the music stood out, better than probably 90% of visual novels out there, very packed with details and emotes.”

“I love the artstyle, the paper cut visuals and animations were really nice.”

“Everything from UI design, to panelling, to art style, to music was spot on in conveying that 90's sort of nostalgia.”

“There's not much gameplay to speak of, but the storytelling, especially the pacing, is exquisite.”

“Everything from the UI, comic panels, sprite work, backgrounds, even the screen transitions feel lovingly and attentively designed. The story evokes a natural and familiar, relatable feeling without just banking on nostalgia. The incorporation of the in-universe bands and real featured ones is done so well that I was checking the credits every time I unlocked a song to see who made what.”

“A lot of heart went into this; the music, art, and more all come together to make such an interesting story portrayed through more than regular visual novel sprite and dialogue — now we've got animations and comic book panel art too.”

“There's not much gameplay to speak of, but the storytelling, especially the pacing, is exquisite.”

“It has a few hours of gameplay with some optional interactions, and the visual density toward the middle is about five times the average, so I would not worry too much about the price; it's already worth supporting.”

“As I've continued through the full game, I find the writing is super engaging and the humor is peak.”

“The story was also nicely set up, with some nice humor bits.”
