The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The game is OK, it's just not for me really. It's a walking and listening simulator, with some pretty simple puzzles thrown in. The acting is good, and it's OK for awhile, but the lack of a sprint button is super annoying, and if you don't…”
“I can't recomend this. This game defines the word boring! Great potential, but i never enjoyed any second of this game.”
