story
5 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is emotionally impactful and uniquely designed, inspired by a real event, but some find it lacks coherence and logic as it progresses. While engaging initially, it shifts away from traditional horror and is relatively short, potentially leaving players wanting more depth. Overall, the narrative is heartfelt but could benefit from clearer development.
“Gorgeous art, heart-aching story.”
“Great game, a different horror game in terms of design and gameplay, really unique story.”
“I did like the art style, controls are mostly fine and the story starts off engaging but then goes off the rails; overall the gameplay consists of just walking left and right and finishes after 30 minutes.”
“It's more like a PSA calling on 'Unchain the Dogs,' adapted from a real story I think, and I wouldn't call it a horror game, no.”
“I am sorry to be negative but it could have been done in a better manner or at least with more logic behind how things go in the story.”
