What players say

Players praise the natural dialogue and mature take on romance between a librarian and a headless celebrity pop star, calling the relationship believable despite the supernatural premise. The game offers about 10 hours for a true ending across 9 possible endings, though some find the choice connections opaque and wish for an epilogue or clearer guidance.
