What players say

Players praise the full voice acting, dynamic CG animation, and soundtrack, calling it a cinematic visual novel that feels like a moving comic. The story is complete but short, around three to six hours. Some players find the character motivation and pacing abrupt, especially those new to the series, while others enjoy the twists. Many non-English speakers request a Chinese translation.
