Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Can't finish the game because of the music puzzle. Not everyone has musical ear or good hearing it is stupid that i cannot finish this game for that reason- disappointing”
“(mini-review) I bought this game for $2.50. The game is attractive, and at least initially, quite stylish. Unfortunately, the puzzles are generally nonsensical. They neither promote the story's resolution, nor do they often make any sense…”
