Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I want to like the game but the text is so slow and tedious. Sometimes I know a choice will kill me but I do it anyways to read the death scene.. however, this will force you to restart from the beginning. The writing is good but it's not…”
“Though you can see a DND style map in the screenshots, this is a correct-path-learning text adventure game that should be for free on mobile devices, rather than on steam. Lazy”
