What players say

Players split on the quality of the story: some find it juvenile and incoherent with an inconsistent main character, while others enjoy the adventure and character interactions. The game is praised for its voice acting and the personality system that gives replayability, though criticism centers on the writing feeling like a shallow fanfiction and the rebellion plot lacking depth.
