  • Beautiful art and excellent writing create an immersive atmosphere.
  • Compelling story with interesting lore that expands on the previous game.
  • Short but sweet experience that leaves players wanting more.
  • The game is very short, with some players completing it in under two hours.
  • Lacks the dark mystery and horror elements present in its predecessor, feeling more like a generic fantasy novel.
  • Some translation issues and underdeveloped characters due to the game's brief length.
  • story
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as compelling and lore-driven, set in a unique universe that diverges from typical tropes, such as cat ears symbolizing a rich civilization rather than degeneracy. However, some players found the narrative predictable and shorter than expected, lacking the depth and connections to its predecessor, leaving them eager for a more expansive continuation in future installments. Overall, while the atmosphere and art are praised, the story's independence and brevity disappointed some fans hoping for a deeper exploration of its themes and characters.

    • “It is a very lore-driven game with a lot of story packed into it.”
    • “I was expecting a dark mystery/investigation story with horror elements, a lot of symbolism, and a big reveal/twist towards the end... kinda like Scarlet Scarf was, you know.”
    • “Dark fantasy visual novel + drawn art + atmospheric = adventure with the plague doctor in this story-rich visual novel with 3 endings.”
    • “Instead we get cat girls and a predictable storyline.”
    • “It is a short self-contained story, and unlike its predecessor, does not bother acquainting its readers with the expansive lore or characters of its world.”
    • “I was let down that the story of this game is independent of their other game; I thought this might have been the next part of the story.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for enhancing the atmosphere, with a suitably creepy tone that complements the dark artwork. While some reviewers note that the music isn't groundbreaking, it effectively supports the themes of the visual novel and contributes to a pleasant overall experience.

    • “As always, the art and OST are top-notch.”
    • “The artwork is great, as is the music.”
    • “A pleasant visual novel, with a well-chosen musical accompaniment.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The combination of atmospheric visuals and immersive storytelling creates a rich experience, particularly for those who enjoy visual novels with multiple endings.

    • “It's great on atmosphere; the music is suitably creepy, the artwork is dark to match the atmosphere and theme. If you prefer to have your visual novel read out to you, press 'v' and listen.”
    • “Dark fantasy visual novel + drawn art + atmospheric = adventure with the plague doctor in this story-rich visual novel with three endings.”
    • “Once again, beautiful art, excellent writing, and an atmosphere as thick as some waifu (flat ones are fine too, though).”
  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features a unique blend of combat and interaction, primarily focusing on battles against a catgirl character, followed by cooperative elements where players assist her with tasks like providing a battery for water filtration. This combination of fighting and collaboration adds an intriguing dynamic to the overall experience.

    • “The gameplay revolves around fighting a catgirl, then teaming up with her, and finally giving her a battery to help with water filtration.”
    • “The gameplay revolves around fighting a catgirl, then fighting alongside a catgirl, and then giving her a battery for some water filtration.”

  • graphics
