  • story
    65 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its interesting plot, character development, and engaging writing, while others express frustration over the slow updates and short content. Some highlight the unique elements like time manipulation and a dark detective theme, but there are concerns about pacing and the balance between narrative and adult content. Overall, while the foundation of the story is strong and promising, players are eager for more substantial updates to maintain their interest.

    • “Had such a great story, loved all the characters and there are some really good scenes.”
    • “This is a well thought out story that's been put together almost perfectly.”
    • “The story is excellent and I actually care about the characters I meet in the game.”
    • “The story ended in June of 2023 with a promise of updates 'every 2 months'.”
    • “We've all been burned before by developers charging the price of a full visual novel for 'chapter 1' of a story, only for them to dump out a brief, shallow, disappointing 4-hour tease that plays and feels like a fraction of a game.”
    • “With each and every update, I just remain frustrated with how little further forward things have gone; the story is only really starting, and at this pace, it's going to take a long, long time for the developer to finish the story I'm hoping they intend to provide.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are described as initially decent but later improving in quality, though some elements, particularly the rendering of women's genitalia, are criticized as outdated and unattractive. While the overall graphics are considered good, there are notable issues with graphic errors and poor animations, which detract from the experience.

    • “While a very interesting story, and top notch graphics and sound, chapters tend to be quite short, so as long as you don't mind that fact, this game is developing along with what looks like a very deep story.”
    • “Excellent writing, graphics are good.”
    • “Many graphic errors, some really bad animations, very very short story.”
    • “Graphics: in the beginning pretty decent, but over time they become outdated and poorly rendered, especially in the depiction of women's genital areas.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music aspect features a selector that provides links to original tracks rather than an in-game music player, which some users found limiting. However, the quality of the music, particularly the piano pieces, received positive feedback for standing out and enhancing the overall experience.

    • “The music really stood out to me too, especially the piano pieces.”
    • “So it's not an in-game music selector, but all the tracks are available to listen.”
    • “The music selector is listed as 'sort of' because the music list has links to the originals.”
    • “So it's not an in-game music selector but all the tracks are available to listen.”
