  • gameplay9 mentions

    The gameplay has been criticized for its forced mini-games, which are deemed overly difficult and poorly optimized, leading to frustrating experiences even on high-end systems.

Despite some engaging moments, many reviewers felt that the gameplay ultimately fell short of expectations.

  • emotional8 mentions

    The game effectively employs emotional manipulation through its storytelling, particularly with flashbacks and character development, creating a thought-provoking experience that resonates deeply with players.
