  • The game features an interesting and emotionally impactful story with well-developed, unique characters that engage players and create strong attachments.
  • The art style is beautiful, with hand-drawn, manga-inspired visuals and well-done CGs that effectively convey the late 1800s to early 1900s atmosphere.
  • The soundtrack and Japanese voice acting enhance the immersive experience, especially complementing the horror and mystery elements.
  • The English release is heavily censored, removing the original 18+ content, which disappoints some players despite the story still working without it.
  • The user interface and translation have issues, including awkward phrasing, untranslated lines, and a clunky UI ported from the Switch version, detracting from the reading experience.
  • The price is considered too high for a censored, mostly safe-for-work version, with better value found in other versions or platforms; players are advised to wait for discounts.
