Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“It's a choose your own adventure that has somewhere around 24 total choices but only 3 endings which are all essentially the same. Don't pay more than $3 for this game.”
“I really wanted to like it, the music and art is top notch, but the story elements are not randomized enough; on 4 different playthroughs only two different stories were told, not enough to justify the $10 price tag, imho.”
