  • Unique comic format prologue and well-drawn character sprites, with a good cast of characters.

  • story

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story centers on university students stranded on a wrong island, focusing more on survival than mystery with mostly linear plotlines and multiple endings. While engaging and enhanced by interactive gameplay, some parts feel rushed or recycled, and minor translation issues are present. Overall, the narrative is entertaining, with memorable characters and good replay value.

    • “So this is story about group of university students, who end up on wrong island and their fun trip goes horribly wrong.”
    • “+ interactive gameplay which affects storyline: investigation & tuning in.”
    • “+ quite a few endings to hunt, which means different variations of the story.”
    • “The overall story is complete, but some parts feel very rushed and unexplained, as if they're just recycling and recombining all the possible plots.”
    • “There's one time where we just need to leave the scene as it is without clicking on anything to progress the story.”
    • “When characters are supposed to receive text messages, it was only explained in the story, while it would look better if we could actually open our mail inbox.”

  • gameplay

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay mainly involves clicking through dialogue typical of a visual novel, with some interactive elements like investigation and tuning that affect the storyline. While voice acting and character design are praised, the writing quality and minor errors detract from the overall experience, indicating room for gameplay and narrative improvements.

    • “+ interactive gameplay which affects storyline: investigation & tuning in”
    • “Personal thoughts: good game, very satisfied with the full voice acting and character design, potential gameplay to explore, yet at the same time there are features that can really be improved to make this game more worth it.”
    • “Few grammar and spelling mistakes, however, definitely doesn't hinder gameplay.”
    • “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, which poses the question, 'how did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”
    • “Personal thoughts: good game, very satisfied with the full voice acting and character design, potential gameplay to explore, yet at the same time there are a few features that can really be improved to make this game more worth it.”

  • graphics

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users found the graphics uneven, with some scenes appearing rushed and others more polished, and expressed disappointment that certain endings were conveyed only through text rather than visual representation.

    • “I'm also a bit sad that the endings were explained only in text (I would've liked to have seen visuals for some of those).”
    • “As for the artwork, some of the scenes felt like they were really rushed, while others were cleaner.”

  • music

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music is consistently praised as great and enhances the overall experience, complementing the engaging story and enjoyable characters.

    • “Great music, amazing story, fun cast of characters.”
    • “Great music and very interesting plot!”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the grinding aspect tedious and slow, likening it to reading a novel where progress requires repeated clicking for each sentence, which disrupts the flow and enjoyment.

  • monetization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Monetization in Gamemaker Studio is often associated with the creation of low-quality pixel games aimed primarily at quick profits. This has led to a perception of the platform being used for cash grabs rather than high-quality game development.

  • character development

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The character development is enhanced by full voice acting and well-designed characters, adding depth to the game. However, there are minor features related to character progression that could be improved to increase overall satisfaction.
