- “To say the gameplay is punishing isn't even enough here.”

- “Just I don't see any point given the story has spelled out that it's just going to be a bunch of generically written story developments to be pushed onwards by pretty artwork that doesn't really thrill or move past the point of being a static image that you look at for 2 seconds and move on.”
- “Graphics are acceptable, but there's little to no graphics/interface customizability, further indicating this game was never intended for PC.”
