The gameplay is primarily focused on narrative and world-building, resembling a visual novel rather than traditional interactive mechanics, which may lead to minimal gameplay stress but also limits engagement. While the demo effectively introduces the story and characters, players noted a need for clearer guidance in interactive segments and improvements to the user interface, particularly with the mouse icon. Overall, the gameplay experience feels underdeveloped, leaving room for enhancement in future iterations.
- “Minimal gameplay stress, maximum 'ooh, cool line of dialogue' per minute.”
- “At this stage, it's hard to judge the gameplay and point-and-click elements, as the demo leans more towards a visual novel format, serving as a promotional glimpse into the world-building.”
- “20 - 30 minutes is more than enough time to establish basic world-building, story, characters, or gameplay.”
- “The only notes I have in terms of improved gameplay experience is perhaps a few more nudging notes for the interactive segments (i.e., manipulating the tea took me a minute as it wasn't clear what the game wanted me to do) and polishing the changes to the mouse icon (mine glitched in and out continuously during every loading screen).”
