What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn black-and-white art and oppressive silence for creating a creepy, melancholic atmosphere, but many find the story thin and confusing, the chase sequence frustrating and luck-based, and the English translation poor. The game is short, around 2-3 hours, with players split on whether the simple puzzles are logical or unintuitive.
