What players say

Players praise the visual novel's political depth and focus on collective action against a fascist regime. Many highlight the 38 endings and how choices feel consequential. The 2D-meets-3D art style and camera work are frequently called visually unique. A few reviewers note the subject matter can feel heavy, but the tone stays hopeful overall.
