What players say
Players praise the nostalgic RPG Maker horror atmosphere and compare it favorably to Lily's Well, the developer's earlier game. However, reviews are split on the endings, with some finding rewards unsatisfying or convoluted, and several report crashes and glitches that require reopening the game.
