  • story
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is engaging and offers significant replayability through impactful choices and character backstory customization. While it emphasizes making the right decisions to avoid game overs, it lacks depth in narrative and dialogue. Overall, players find the storyline to be unexpected and intriguing.

    • “Such a good story, and lots of potential replays to get all of the achievements!”
    • “I really liked how each choice affected the story.”
    • “The story is unexpected and intriguing, which makes it interesting to learn as you play the game.”
    • “In terms of content, the game focuses more on making 'the right choice' to avoid a game over, rather than offering a deep storyline or extensive dialogues to explore.”
  • graphics
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • gameplay
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this visual/interactive novel is criticized for being minimal, primarily consisting of clicking through poorly written dialogue that detracts from the overall experience, raising concerns about its quality and suitability for publication.

    • “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print. This poses the question, 'How did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the grinding aspect of visual novels and e-books tedious, likening the experience to a frustratingly slow reading process where each sentence requires a click to advance, detracting from the enjoyment of the narrative.

    • “Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best. Imagine the best novel you ever read, be it 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', '2001: A Space Odyssey', or 'Twilight' (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you want to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by its sharp wit and clever observations, as exemplified by a remark about the minimal demand for a book, suggesting a satirical take on its value. Overall, players appreciate the game's ability to deliver humor that is both insightful and amusing.

    • “The funny thing is, if you wanted to print this book, you'd only need to print 5 copies to satisfy the entire world's demand for it.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally pleasant, but many users feel it lacks a strong connection to the gameplay, often coming across as generic and repetitive.
