Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“This game is nothing special... The story is as chliché as it gets. The comic art looks nice enough. but there is no voice acting and loads of cutscenes/conversations which only stall the pace of the game. Some choices make minor changes…”
“This is not a game but a graphical novel. Your choices have absolutely no impact on the story and they do not matter at all, so thanks for nothing! I paid 1,50€ for the first three episodes which is about how much this is worth. The story…”
