    • “Nice text adventure style game that balances making choices to advance story and keeping character from losing her way.”
    • “Cute little game seemingly very linear at first, but as you play you unlock more story and new paths.”

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions
