The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Started out an amazing little game. however, there is one mechanic that killed the game for me. Losing everything. I know i know, the whole point of the game is letting go. Though, to know every single item you collect, every picture…”
“The forced dialogue kills it for me. I'm not big on story lines sometimes and want an option to just skip through but this game makes you go through some tedious dialogue. If I'm wrong about skipping it, I'm happy to change my review.”
