  • The game features beautiful visuals and detailed 3D backgrounds with an option for a PS1-style graphic mode.
  • The soundtrack is considered good and adds to the atmospheric and dark mood of the game.
  • The story offers a deep, dark, and atmospheric narrative with complex moral choices that provoke reflection on life and death.
  • The text progresses very slowly and cannot be skipped, making the gameplay tedious and frustrating.
  • There is no save feature, and upon death, players must restart from the beginning, losing all progress.
  • The gameplay is minimal and mostly limited to reading with occasional choices; the UI and volume options are lacking or poor, and the overall experience is considered very boring.
  • story
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is widely criticized for being slow, repetitive, and lacking meaningful interactivity or engagement, with many finding it overly simplistic and tedious. Players also pointed out issues such as abrupt beginnings, long unskippable waits, and an underwhelming payoff, making the narrative feel like an unenjoyable slog rather than a compelling experience.

    • “A stunning and more than just a forbidden sad story.”
    • “I had high hopes because the premise and storyline of this game sounded promising.”
    • “Maybe somebody else will have a good time going through this story but this was not what I expected.”
    • “The theme of the story is 'death is always final'. Permadeath can work in visual novels, but this game handled it in a very poorly executed way.”
    • “This is an unreasonable slog to get through. There's absolutely no reason to punish the player with unskippable waits for making a bad guess. The story is bloated despite very little happening, and the payoff is disappointing.”
    • “It's very slow, not interesting, and there is nothing you can do beyond watching some text pop up on your screen like a story.”
  • music
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed feedback, with some praising the soundtrack as impressive and enjoyable, while others find it repetitive, overly loud, and ill-fitting for the game's tone. Volume control and the inability to turn off or skip the music are common complaints.

    • “Incredible soundtrack!”
    • “The soundtrack isn't what you'd expect, but kinda slaps.”
    • “The soundtrack is kinda good though.”
    • “Ultimately it's a let down to play and not an enjoyable experience as it gets repetitive fast and the music doesn't turn off, within 5 minutes it's just grating to hear.”
    • “I downloaded the game and turned deaf in a few seconds, the music is so loud!”
    • “Using a dubstep with a little horror vibe to it doesn't fit in this game, please fix the volume and please fix the music.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics feature detailed 3D backgrounds with no visible characters, complemented by an alternate PS1-style mode. While visually appealing and paired with nice music, the overall presentation is minimalistic and might feel unengaging to some players.

    • “The game looks and sounds really good, there's no visible characters, just text with detailed 3D backgrounds behind it. There's also an alt mode that styles the graphics to look PS1-ish.”
    • “The visuals and music are kinda nice though.”
  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express disappointment with the gameplay, noting a lack of engaging or varied gameplay elements throughout the experience.

  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's monetization is intrusive, frequently spamming users with ads that automatically open their browser, negatively impacting the user experience.

  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game can be quite demanding, often requiring significant time and effort, with some players feeling the need for extra lives or resources to manage it effectively.
