Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I'm really disappointed. This game started out so well, with good puzzles, an engaging story, and good pacing. When the Unfeigned Altruist first showed up, I really hoped the game would turn into a good metaphysical allegory I don't know…”
“Cringeworthy Christian fable. Puzzles & world-building are decent but dialogues & voice-acting ruin this. Arguably worth it for the cult factor: the increasingly questionable actions it has you do in the name of its divine saviour…”
