  • Innovative gameplay combining a visual novel with puzzle and point-and-click elements centered around an elevator mechanic.
  • A compelling and emotional story focusing on complex queer relationships, with numerous endings and rich lore encouraging exploration.
  • Some puzzles can be confusing or finicky, occasionally requiring guides to progress, and certain elevator codes can fail to register properly.
  • The true ending may feel abrupt or incomplete, leaving several plot points unresolved and some players wanting deeper narrative closure.
  • The mixture of humor, references, and occasional tonal shifts sometimes disrupt the otherwise creepy and suspenseful mood.

    The story is generally praised for its engaging, emotionally deep narrative centered on two queer catgirls, blending horror and relationship themes with a well-balanced, immersive progression. While the non-linear, puzzle-driven structure and multiple endings enrich the experience, some find certain plot points unresolved or the true ending somewhat abrupt. Overall, the storytelling is compelling, atmospheric, and thought-provoking, though it may feel uneven or unclear at times.

    • “The story and visuals draw inspiration heavily from both Silent Hill and Otherside Picnic, but it brings so many interesting original elements to them it feels like an homage rather than a ripoff.”
    • “The growing dread as the overarching story was gradually revealed alongside some excellently creepy moments made this a really fun game to play through.”
    • “The 'true' ending was also a deeply satisfying conclusion to a story about two queer women and I hope the team revisits Asahi and Kirin's relationship in future as they are both compelling characters who experience their own personal growth through the events of the story.”
    • “Like, we get some small glimpse, but I feel like it wrapped up literally none of the plot points that were opened during the game.”
    • “The delivery of the story is very subjective; I almost feel like the game bounces between being a generic relationship game and being super clever with game deconstruction. I definitely feel like there is a lot of thought-provoking themes, but it's not something that I felt all the time, and unfortunately, the game tends to get better halfway in.”
    • “[Atmosphere] - for the most part I like the way you handled it, it gets better toward the second half, but sometimes you would linger on the same screen trying to describe the situation, which is perfectly fine, just not back to back to back. I wish the story moved with more purpose because it did get a little boring in some sections.”

    The atmosphere of the game is widely praised for its eerie, immersive, and well-crafted horror vibe, enhanced by strong art, sound design, and voice acting. While some players note occasional tonal shifts due to humor or references that interrupt the creepiness, the overall mood remains tense, mysterious, and engaging throughout multiple endings. This blend of atmospheric storytelling, visuals, and audio creates a compelling and memorable horror visual novel experience.

    • “Its unsettling atmosphere is incredibly rich and utterly unparalleled, especially supported by the visuals, sounds, and game mechanics.”
    • “The strongest point is the atmosphere, with the first couple of hours creating a foreboding and tense sense of mystery.”
    • “Together with an eerie, haunting soundtrack and fitting soundscape, you are in for a very atmospheric journey.”
    • “The main issue I had with this game was the tone - there are a lot of instances of humor and references to other material that kind of broke the creepy atmosphere of the game for me.”
    • “Starts out scarier than it can keep up over the course of the game, but the atmosphere remains strong despite sometimes drifting off into silliness - might be a bit strong on references to other games.”
    • “Atmosphere?”

  • graphics

    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 48% neutral mentions, 12% negative mentions

    The game's graphics feature a distinctive, hand-drawn art style that effectively enhances its eerie and immersive atmosphere, setting it apart from typical visual novels. Reviewers praise the unique visuals for complementing the horror themes and creating a captivating, ethereal experience that deeply engages players. While some note minor inconsistencies in character art, the overall aesthetic is widely regarded as stylish, atmospheric, and integral to the game's appeal.

    • “It involves the body horror and the existential horror of the most delightful kinds, and its visuals are simply ethereal, truly gorgeous.”
    • “Visually stunning with a charming art style, this game immerses you in a world filled with captivating scenes and an aesthetic that's as appealing as it is eerie.”
    • “The art style is particularly noteworthy: the hand-drawn, cutout style feels amazing with the environment and gives the game a very special feeling.”
    • “Music is ok, graphics are ok, voice acting is ok.”
    • “Visuals are unique, and don't suffer from the generic anime syndrome VNs usually have.”
    • “This is probably a case where screenshots don't really give you an idea of how an art style might work in a game until you give it a try.”

    The gameplay combines simple point-and-click mechanics, puzzle-solving, and visual novel elements centered around an innovative elevator system, creating a unique and immersive experience. While initially straightforward, its looping exploration, multiple endings, and subtle narrative twists add depth and intrigue that distinguish it from typical visual novels. Despite occasional difficulty spikes, the gameplay effectively supports the game's unsettling atmosphere and storytelling.

    • “The elevator game with catgirls is a captivating blend of horror visual novel, point-and-click, and puzzle gameplay that stands out as one of the best in its genre.”
    • “The mechanics of moving around the place in an elevator are a nice addon to the genre - the suspense - what we will see this time after the elevator doors open is a combination of curiosity and a slight thrill.”
    • “If anything, the actual meat of the game is psychedelic exploration, one of those easter egg hunts for various secrets and additional story context, slightly reminds me of games like 'Who's Lila', but with static point-and-click gameplay, especially the whole looping effect, becoming something different from just reading a wall of text, and sometimes getting the story from disjointed segments, not necessarily a linear experience.”
    • “The reason for my tardiness is that I’m incredibly bad with any gameplay, so at first, I couldn’t proceed without a guide, and then, much later, I found myself unable to get further even with the help of a walkthrough.”
    • “Sadly, the loop mechanic the game introduces removes the sense of tension; the elevator game is supposed to play with your mind, where you can't distinguish whether you're in the real world or the 'other world.'”

Overall, the soundtrack complements the visuals and voice acting, making for a very well-rounded and captivating audio experience.

    • “An absolutely charming little game with a beautiful soundtrack!”
    • “The true ending was a bit anticlimactic outside of the interaction with Kirin, but the credits song that plays is utterly beautiful and I'll definitely be adding it to my Spotify playlists.”

    • “You can trust me, I bought it thinking I was getting a funny game with a funny title.”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users find the grinding aspect tedious, as it requires repeatedly revisiting tasks and solutions that were initially misunderstood, leading to frustrating delays in progress.

    • “Making it tedious to progress as you'll have to re-visit things which you had the right solution at the wrong time (and thus wrongfully concluded it was a wrong solution).”

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions
