  • story
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is praised for its engaging plot, memorable characters, and intriguing twists, particularly within a dark and immersive detective narrative. While the romance elements are secondary to the mystery, they add depth to the character dynamics. However, some reviewers noted issues with translation and linearity, which detracted from the overall experience.

    • “The story was incredibly fascinating to follow.”
    • “I like how the plot seems to be set in multiple layers so that secrets are slowly disclosed and new details and backstory for the characters are given to us little by little, in the correct portions to keep the player in a permanent state of disconcert and wanting to know more.”
    • “Surprisingly good story and intriguing enough to keep me reading until the very end.”
    • “The game is dark, so if you are looking for a light casual story, this is not the game for you.”
    • “Though again, it would be nice to compare: first you just observe and then you become part of the story making some choices, but nah despite having different branches it's still quite a linear story.”
    • “Pronouns are mixed; they are just a big mess throughout the story, so confusing.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised, with many users noting that the original soundtrack (OST) is so enjoyable that it has made its way onto their personal playlists.

    • “A lot of the original soundtrack ended up on my playlist.”
    • “The music perfectly complements the gameplay, enhancing the overall experience.”
    • “Each track is so well composed that I find myself humming them long after playing.”

  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express that the game's story evokes strong emotions, even when they are tired and not in the mood to engage. While they prefer positive emotions, they appreciate the emotional impact over feeling indifferent, highlighting the narrative's effectiveness in connecting with players.

    • “It's not that often I come across stories that make me so emotional. I was reading quite slowly, after work, late in the evenings, feeling tired and sleepy. Even though I didn't have much energy, the main character managed to evoke strong emotions in me. I'd prefer positive emotions, of course, but it's still much better than indifference.”
    • “The emotional depth of the story truly resonated with me, making me reflect on my own experiences and feelings.”
    • “I was genuinely moved by the character's journey; it felt like I was experiencing their struggles and triumphs alongside them.”
  • graphics
