Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“good potential, bad implementation. pushing only one ending when you have everything to have many is dumbfounding. also, knowing an answer but not knowing how exactly you should use it ending up cycling through options without a proper…”
“Interesting story and gameplay to begin with, but the final reveal of the story is just laughably stupid and over the top. They really fumbled this story at the last minute. Not worth the full price.”
