  • The game delivers a hauntingly beautiful and emotionally powerful story exploring themes of grief, regret, and forgiveness with nuanced, multifaceted characters.
  • Outstanding atmosphere achieved through stunning hand-crafted gothic artwork, subtle animations, and a moving original soundtrack featuring piano and cello performances.
  • Engaging gameplay blending visual novel narrative with point-and-click exploration and a well-designed codex that enriches the lore and rewards careful examination.
  • Some narrative perspective shifts feel abrupt and can be confusing without further reflection or replaying.
  • Lack of a gallery to revisit beautiful artwork and CGs is disappointing for players who want to review visual highlights.
  • The story deals with very dark and heavy themes with unsettling scenes, suggesting a need for clearer trigger warnings for sensitive players.

    The story is a haunting, melancholic tale of love, loss, regret, and grief, richly told through multiple characters and timelines with intricate plot twists and emotional depth. It thoughtfully explores complex themes such as feminism and medieval social issues with sincerity and subtlety, enhanced by a detailed in-game glossary. Coupled with beautiful art, music, and immersive storytelling, it creates a powerful, unforgettable experience that resonates deeply with players.

    • “The story, characters, art, writing and music are brilliant and all of these pieces came together for an unforgettable experience.”
    • “The story is even more complex than I suspected (there were several plot twists that I did not see coming even though the hints were there!) and at its heart are three complicated, multifaceted characters with heart-wrenching tales that you piece together little by little as you wander through the castle and memories.”
    • “A generous in-game codex (including an exhaustive armour glossary!) helps you hold all the plot threads together, and everything is written with sincerity and heart.”
    • “Whereas the choices are not too consequential story-wise, they are capable of adding supplementary layers to the atmosphere, also due to seeing certain desirable options being fatally locked.”
    • “The story, characters, art, writing and music are brilliant and all of these pieces came together for an unforgettable experience. However, the storytelling and plot twists gave me that long-lost feeling when you're trying to piece it all together but just can't quite figure out what really happened.”
    • “The setting and characters are few, but through repetition in interaction with scenes, items, environments (which usually bothers me, but not here, because the pull to find truth in the mystery is so strong), an intimacy to plot and character development can unfold in such a way which strengthens the visual novel's themes.”

  • music

    The music in this visual novel is widely praised for its beautiful, haunting, and melancholic piano and cello compositions that deeply enhance the game's emotional atmosphere.

Many players find the soundtrack memorable enough to listen to on its own, highlighting its integral role in the game's powerful mood and storytelling.

    • “A visual novel with some small graphic adventure mechanics, which excels in atmosphere thanks to its poetic language, its visual arts, and its outstandingly synergetic soundtracks.”
    • “The music is a piano score composed and played by the developer themselves with some ambient sounds added such as the wind howling or iron creaking.”
    • “Few narratives are as well-written (both structurally and in moment-to-moment prose) as tlwk (that list gets shorter when we consider games instead of just narratives), but it is also fully illustrated and accompanied by stirring piano and cello music.”

    • “The story is even more complex than I suspected (there were several plot twists that I did not see coming even though the hints were there!) and at its heart are three complicated, multifaceted characters with heart-wrenching tales that you piece together little by little as you wander through the castle and memories.”
