  • story
    108 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is deeply emotional, atmospheric, and well-crafted, drawing strong comparisons to the horror visual novel "Saya no Uta" with themes of despair, obsession, and tragic love. While many praise its poetic and haunting narrative along with multiple endings, others find the inclusion of sexual assault scenes unnecessary, problematic, and distracting from character development and plot progression. Overall, the story resonates most with players who appreciate dark, complex themes and gothic romance but may be challenging or uncomfortable for sensitive audiences.

    • “The game's plot was very similar to Saya No Uta, which transmits the sensation of being loved by the only person in the world who matters to you, making it deeply emotional and impactful.”
    • “The art, music, and visual style are stunning and beautifully complement the story, which is powerful, poetic, and draws you into a world filled with despair, loss, and quiet suffering.”
    • “The story has different endings that induce a variety of emotions, is deeply engaging, and encourages replayability, making it a memorable and creative experience.”
    • “First of all the sa/rape was very unnecessary, it held no plot to the game and ruined my entire playthrough even though I've only played 48 minutes.”
    • “I was very annoyed by how the game was planned out, the pacing was bad enough to make you not sympathize with any of the characters that much and the overall story was way too short for what its idea was going for (Saya no Uta x Alien Stage), some of the RPG mechanics were annoying as well, and my expectations were pretty shot down after this by the characters mostly non-canon behavior especially from Ivan, the endings felt rushed and trying to oversimplify the whole story and end it fast even for bad endings, and felt like it was being dark for no reason sometimes with just no meaning.”
    • “It's one thing to add sexual violence to a game and tackle it respectfully, in a way that pushes the plot forward and is handled with dignity-- and this was not it.”
  • music
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for being beautiful, atmospheric, and emotionally impactful, often perfectly complementing the art style and story. Many reviewers highlight the soundtrack's ability to enhance mood and tension without overwhelming, with original compositions and creative reinterpretations that stand out as a key strength. Overall, the music contributes significantly to the game's haunting and immersive experience.

    • “The art for this visual novel is absolutely stunning, the soundtracks are at once familiar but also creatively reimagined to fit the atmosphere and amplify the emotions of the characters in key moments, the horror element is perfectly balanced to create tension without feeling overwhelming, and although it is overall short, the game very generously offers a total of four different endings and a mysterious intrigue that engages one’s curiosity until the end and even beyond.”
    • “The art style is unique and haunting, and the soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal—it's the star of the show for me.”
    • “Beautiful environments, gorgeous and plentiful CGs, stunning original musics and reprises, and so many lovingly expressive sprites.”
    • “The soundtrack was okay; sometimes it sounded a bit weird.”
    • “3.) Music: yeah yeah I get it, you guys are Touhou fans, I get it.”
    • “This game is a blatant rip-off of the storyline of the Song of Saya but does not mention any inspiration from that visual novel.”
  • graphics
    37 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are widely praised for their beautiful, unique, and haunting art style, detailed CGs, and emotionally evocative visuals that enhance the bleak and horror-themed tone. Many users highlight the high-quality artwork as a major draw, often comparing it favorably to related titles and noting its strong integration with the soundtrack. However, some express discomfort with character portrayals and suggest caution due to dark, potentially triggering thematic content that contrasts with the striking visuals.

    • “While I've been complaining about everything so far, I really have to admit that the art is damn good and the art style is just beautiful.”
    • “The art style is striking, using shadows and muted colors to strengthen the bleak tone.”
    • “The artwork is not only absolutely beautiful, it's also a style you don't see a lot.”
    • “Making Till look 10 years younger than Ivan did is not just the artstyle, it's disgusting how you even drew him, and then proceed to make Ivan look so much older, especially when you're going to add sexual assault into the game.”
    • “He's half Ivan's size (we never see him standing next to Sua or Mizi but he looks around Sua's height), and the size difference is even more obvious in artworks.”
    • “Maybe I'm biased but the artstyle feels almost identical to Qmeng and to be honest, some character decisions here still hold true to the canon (Luka's inhumanity or Ivan's complicated flaws which we still struggled to accept).”
  • gameplay
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay blends visual novel storytelling with RPG mechanics, offering immersive exploration and enjoyable mechanics reminiscent of titles like Omori. While the RPG elements and artwork receive praise, some players find pacing issues, occasional technical glitches, and certain story moments uncomfortable or poorly handled, leading some to recommend watching playthroughs instead of playing directly.

    • “I did not expect this to be a RPG Maker game but was genuinely surprised by how immersive and explorative the gameplay was for a shipping fan game.”

    • “Not only were the illustrations high quality, but also the RPG mechanic was fun to use.”
    • “Some strengths I would say are the artwork and the sound design while the actual gameplay is a little infuriating at times.”
    • “I was very annoyed by how the game was planned out. The pacing was bad enough to make you not sympathize with any of the characters, and the overall story was way too short for what it was going for (Saya no Uta x Alien Stage). Some of the RPG mechanics were annoying as well. My expectations were pretty shot down by the characters' mostly non-canon behavior, especially from Ivan. The endings felt rushed and tried to oversimplify the whole story and end it fast, even for bad endings. It felt like it was trying to be dark for no meaningful reason at times.”
    • “As far as the technicalities of the gameplay were concerned, with the exception of a small performance issue that caused the game to occasionally freeze for me — nothing a well-placed save couldn’t resolve though — everything performed smoothly, and the moments of exploration were delightful.”
