Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Almost a "yes", and I respect the work that has been put in this game. The atmosphere is great, musics are too. That being said, I simply cannot recommend to anyone to invest 6 hours in this game, considering how slow and tedious it is…”
“Lots of walking and empty talks. The characters' behavior is annoying, the variability of some answers is a choice between equally toxic answers. The plot is clumsy and drawn out. Doesn't encourage you to look for other endings. Not worth…”
