What players say

Players highlight the branching choices and the ability to see the story from different characters' perspectives, comparing it to similar exploration games. However, opinions split on the execution: some note the story is interesting despite a rough translation, while others criticize poor machine-translated text and weak animation. Players also mention updates are slow.
