story
19 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is concise and engaging, offering a compelling, short narrative that can be completed in about an hour with multiple endings. While the plot and character motivations—particularly Gavriil’s paranoia—are sometimes seen as forced and break immersion, the overall experience is considered solid and worth the price, especially given its short length and indie nature. The story effectively portrays the emotional instability of its characters, though deeper development and slower pacing could have enhanced immersion.
“I really enjoyed the story. It's a pretty short visual novel you can finish in one sitting (took me about an hour for the 3 endings). Also, the little puzzles were fun. I liked Gavriil a lot, even more than Yeva.”
“Short, but the story was really cool and I liked the art style too.”
“It feels like reading a powerful short story.”
“This is simply bad writing; the character acts in a manner to justify finding plot points, rather than events in the story justifying the plot points leading the character to seek answers.”
“Like a deus ex machina, his paranoia and constant whining justify irrational behavior that forces the plot along.”
“The main problem I have is how often the story breaks immersion.”
