What players say

Players praise the story and art style, especially the eerie cunzhi stories, but many criticize the final chase sequence as tedious and the walking speed as slow. Some find the qq group mechanic and lack of saving when the phone dies frustrating. The ending's organ trafficking reveal is noted, though some players think the social commentary could go deeper.
