What players say

Players praise the meta narrative and emotional sapphic story, calling it creative and heartfelt. However, many warn that chasing 100% achievements is painful due to buggy crashes and RNG-heavy dialogue. Players are split on whether the repetitive structure is rewarding or frustrating.
