Reviews
- The art style and character designs are visually appealing and well-executed, contributing to an engaging aesthetic experience.
- The story has potential with interesting characters and humorous dialogue, particularly between the siblings Jawad and Sara.
- The game offers positive representation of Muslim women, which is a refreshing aspect in the gaming landscape.
- The game is very short, feeling more like a prologue than a complete chapter, leaving players frustrated with an abrupt ending.
- It is only available in Arabic, which may pose a challenge for non-Arabic speakers and even some native speakers due to obscure language usage.
- The gameplay mechanics are simplistic and lack depth, with limited choices leading to the same ending regardless of player decisions.
