What players say

Players praise the full voice acting and tight pacing but are split on the extra chapter, which shifts to horror-comedy and is criticized for cheap scares and poor art. The CG art is widely panned as ugly, while the main mystery is called short, straightforward, and enjoyable at a low price.
