What players say

Players consistently praise the deep, morally challenging story and the sense that choices carry weight, even down to minor dialogue options. The lack of voice acting and visible character expressions is noted but does not break immersion, thanks to strong writing and music. Some find the dense, nonstop plot exhausting, and a few feel the finale rushes its philosophical points.
