28 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is praised for its intriguing and immersive setting, showcasing a unique understanding of fae folklore. However, many reviewers noted that the narrative is relatively linear and lacks character-driven depth, leading to a sense of unsatisfaction regarding player impact on the story. While the short length is seen as appealing, it may not satisfy those seeking a more complex, relationship-focused experience.
“The story is intriguing and the setting is well developed and immersive.”
“Unique and interesting story that's shockingly easy to get sucked into.”
“At the heart of this game, though, is the story.”
“Overall, I felt that the actions of my character had little impact over the course of the story, and it left me unsatisfied.”
“- Not very character or relationship driven, with a relatively linear storyline (different approaches, but not too many drastically different outcomes aside from the ending itself).”
“If you’re looking for a long, character-driven story where you bond with someone, this isn’t it; however, I recommend this for how well the writer understands the wee folk (the fae) and the story is fairly well written, able to pull you into the tale.”
