The gameplay incorporates time travel as a narrative device rather than a mechanic, facilitating meaningful interactions between characters from different generations, such as Yoko and Tsumigi's cultural clash and Misuzu's introspective journey into motherhood. This approach enriches the storytelling experience, emphasizing character development over traditional gameplay mechanics.
“The time travel mechanic is intriguing, allowing for deep character interactions, such as Yoko and Tsumigi clashing over cultures as equals despite being two generations apart, and Misuzu thoughtfully considering the implications of motherhood before embarking on that journey.”
“The gameplay seamlessly integrates time travel, creating rich narrative moments that explore generational differences and personal growth.”
“The mechanics of the game encourage players to engage with the story on a deeper level, making choices that resonate with the characters' emotional journeys.”
“The time travel is literally 'a god did it', so it’s not like the mechanic itself is examined. It allows scenes like Yoko and Tsumigi clashing over cultures as equals despite being two generations apart, and Misuzu carefully considering what it means to be a mother before the process of becoming one.”
