story13 positive mentions

Exceptional writing with deep, multidimensional characters and strong Greek myth integration, offering a unique and psychological BL narrative.
Beautiful, distinctive art style with plentiful detailed CGs that enhance the immersive experience without overshadowing the story.
Well-structured routes with meaningful romance scenes and complex emotional development, especially praised are Vitale's and Dr. Love's routes.

Inconsistent art quality at times, including character sprites and CGs, which can be distracting but not game-breaking.
Some routes feel shorter or less developed, notably Icardi's route and certain climax plot points that seem rushed or lacking depth.
The game’s dark themes and depiction of toxic relationships may not be suitable for all players; certain narrative elements like prolonged dialogue on some topics were criticized.

story

The story is widely praised for its engaging blend of dark fantasy, romance, and psychological depth, with well-developed characters and emotionally impactful plot twists. Each romance route offers unique, meaningful narratives that contribute to a rich overall plot, striking a balance between love interests and world-building. While some endings feel slightly rushed, the story's realism, chemistry, and thoughtful pacing make it a standout choice for BL fans and newcomers alike.
- “The love interests are all unique and subvert expectations in interesting ways. The plot keeps the game from feeling too focused on the love interests while still giving them plenty of priority. The game requires you to get every ending before unlocking the more plot-heavy routes, which makes it so you have a complete understanding of the world and its systems before it throws you into the deep end.”
- “I have to say that I didn't expect to find such a hidden gem so randomly, but I'm glad I did. It really hooked me up - the story and characters are really great. It's a perfect blend of romance, gore, angst, and comedy with a fantasy setting, where the main motive is presenting different concepts of love. I only wish I could forget it and play it again anew... A must-play for any BL enjoyer, but I would also recommend it for anyone just slightly interested, because it's just good.”
- “Still, they're earned naturally after Melrose and the love interest officially commit to each other, and only after hours of story and character development.”
- “As a heads up, at least for the one route I played, the choices are very much 'do you want a quick bad end or do you want to get on with the main story.' This meant there were only three choices, with the final one deciding what ending you got.”
- “Some of the climax plot ends feel a tad rushed.”
- “Though I wish there was a bit more interactivity between the major story beats, even if we had to roleplay within the bounds of a predefined personality.”
