  • story
    48 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is praised for its atmospheric and immersive qualities, set against a unique medieval Korean backdrop that blends historical drama with supernatural elements. While it features intriguing plot twists and character development, some reviewers found the narrative to be somewhat simplistic or lacking depth at times. Overall, the game offers a compelling murder mystery experience with multiple endings, though it may not fully satisfy those seeking a more complex storyline.

    • “The story blends historical drama with supernatural elements, offering a tense and engaging narrative.”
    • “The story is interesting, with great characters and a great look into old Korean culture and folklore.”
    • “The mystery storytelling is done in the finest way; I notice how the writing is super logical and it gives attention to very small details.”
    • “While the visuals are great, the story is, sadly, quite lackluster for my preference.”
    • “There's nothing specific I can point to that makes this only an adequate story; in my opinion, it's just lacking a certain spark or reason for my investment that it would require to be a truly great experience.”
    • “I was a little bit let down by the actual mystery in the story.”
  • music
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its authenticity and ability to enhance the atmosphere, featuring traditional Korean instruments and calming melodies that complement the visuals.

  • gameplay
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a creative narrative structure, particularly appealing to fans of time loop mechanics. However, mechanically, it falls short of being truly non-linear, as interactivity is limited and primarily revolves around exploring various story branches, with a clever incorporation of "death" as a gameplay element. Overall, while the story and flowchart mechanics are engaging, the gameplay experience may not be as satisfying as expected.

    • “Gameplay: creative!”
    • “Without spoiling too much, I thought the way the gameplay element of 'death' was incorporated into the story was clever.”
    • “Story was good, flowchart was a cool mechanic.”
    • “This purports itself to be a branching-narrative non-linear game, but it isn't - not on a mechanical level.”
    • “As for the game: the interactivity is very limited, the gameplay consists of exploring all the branches of the story.”
    • “The story itself reminded me a lot of some game mechanics I've recently run into; it's a bit like Raging Loop but definitely not as long.”
  • atmosphere
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Regardless of the story, I did have some fun playing for the atmosphere, music, and learning all the Korean.”

    • “Despite the intriguing premise, the overall atmosphere fails to evoke any real emotion or tension.”
