    • “Some of the character choices and certain parts in the later story feel so contrived and railroady that it takes away any incentive to replay the story.”
    • “Honestly, this has the chance to be something more, but the author clearly didn't plan carefully enough. The concept is actually good, but it's missing world building, the plot is dumb, and your choices don't matter.”
