Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Loved art and sound. Gameplay and story are shallow and not fun though. Also guy's walking speed is painfully slow”
“أعجبتني فكرة اللعبة في البداية 🎨، وكان واضح إنها تحاول تكون تجربة شعورية ولطيفة، لكن رغم قصرها إلا إن الملل جاني بسرعة وما حسّيت بأي ارتباط حقيقي بالقصة أو العالم. كانت محتاجة تنوع أكثر في أسلوب اللعب أو مفاجآت تخلي التجربة تستحق الوقت 📉…”
