Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“This game has a really interesting premise and the artwork is quite nice, for the style. It sometimes crashes, but if you can put up with having to relaunch the game periodically or under certain circumstances, it is an interesting game…”
“The art direction is stunning, but the gameplay is pretty simplistic, and it never does anything with it to go beyond being "pretty simplistic", so the more you play it the more it just gets...dull and uninteresting.”
