Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I was really interested in the game at first, seeing the amazing art style and cute character design. however, there isn't much to highlight except of the pixel art the story feels very bland and mostly boring, gameplay is basically…”
“It's not interesting and very "weak" for lack of a better description. The visuals are nice, but I want a good, detailed story. What I got was weird trauma dumping, shallow characters and nuts. Not worth it, unfortunately. Not even on sale.”
