  • Charming and cute art style with delightful, light-hearted fantasy music.
  • Engaging word puzzle gameplay that lets players create various curse combinations leading to multiple endings.
  • Inclusive queer and non-binary representation presented naturally and touchingly.
  • Very short game experience that some players might find too brief for the cost.
  • Puzzle difficulty is low and can be solved by trial-and-error without much challenge.

  • story

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    22% positive mentions, 45% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The story is engaging and light-hearted, progressing meaningfully with character revelations and connecting to a previous game in the series. Multiple endings encourage trial-and-error with phrase combinations, though a post-story feature allows easier access to content. Overall, the narrative is concise but satisfying, with potential for future follow-ups.

    • “As the story progresses, it makes sense as to why the stranger wants those love curses, and then Matin has to reveal a very important piece of information to him.”
    • “Creating curses was quite fun, and I would like to see some sort of follow-up between Matin and the stranger, although I enjoyed how the story wraps everything up well and in a fun, light-hearted way.”
    • “Depending on the combination of phrases chosen, either you'll progress with the story, getting the standard ending, or you'll get a bad ending.”
    • “If you want to go for all the endings, it can take quite a bit of trial-and-error with the combination of phrases to do so, but after you complete the story once, you can access a skull poster in the main menu where you can create curses without going through the story again.”
    • “It's not a sprawling epic or a super long complicated puzzle, but it is exactly as long as it needs to be for the story.”

  • music

    The music is well-received for its spooky yet light-hearted and catchy tone, perfectly complementing the game's whimsical and fun atmosphere. Players find the soundtrack delightful and enjoy its contribution to the overall charming and creative experience.

    • “As for the music, the tracks have a spooky but light-hearted feel.”
    • “The music is delightful to listen to, and if you like it, you can purchase the soundtrack for this game.”
    • “It's a pretty short experience, but a thoroughly enjoyable one - the cutest art and characters like always, super catchy and tonally perfect music, and a creative premise make up for a hugely fun and wholesome time!”

  • gameplay

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

    The gameplay centers around crafting curses by selecting appropriate phrases to fill in blanks on a scroll, forming the core mechanic of the game.

    • “As for the gameplay, when it comes to creating a curse, you're given a scroll that has the curse, and you have to fill in the question marks with certain phrases that are given to you.”
    • “With the gameplay, creating the curses using a set of phrases makes up the main core.”

  • humor

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor is well-received, particularly in the bad endings, which are described as quite hilarious. The epilogue features a fun and cute exchange that adds to the comedic charm, especially through playful word puzzles about true love.

    • “In regards to the bad endings, they are quite hilarious, and I really enjoyed the epilogue, as Matin meets the target of the love curse and a fun conversation ensues.”
    • “Cute and hilarious word puzzle on true love”

    The game delivers a brief yet deeply enjoyable emotional experience, featuring charming art, catchy music, and a creative premise. Its subtle but meaningful queer and genderqueer representation adds a touching layer of inclusivity that resonates both nostalgically and genuinely.

    • “It's a pretty short experience, but a thoroughly enjoyable one—the cutest art and characters like always, super catchy and tonally perfect music, and a creative premise make up for a hugely fun and wholesome time!”
    • “A range of queer and genderqueer representation in a way that feels unobtrusive, but still undeniably important and touching, adds to the experience of a game I would have just adored when I was still a slightly confused teen and love no less now as an adult!”
