Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“It's not badly made, but really just not my cup of tea. The pacing feels very off, characters seem dull and boring to me, the story doesnt seem to know what it wants to be and the riddles are either non-existent or super easy. Can't really…”
“Lamplight city was a treat but this is really disappointing. It's pretty (even though the main character looks really awkward, especially the facial expression) and well voice acted but the characters are not either particularly likeable…”
