Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Very intriguing for the first walkthroughs, but too many repeated scenes when I tried other branches. The game wanted to apply game theory but it was just a hoax. The plot does not make much sense either, too many insignificant choices.”
“oh my god you can't do any choice without replaying the entire game, i'm not replaying 1,2 hours to get a better ending lol cmon”
