What players say

Players describe this as a short (3 to 4 hours) kinetic novel with very few choices and three endings, two of which are abrupt bad ends. They praise the art and soundtrack but note the story feels rushed, the protagonist is unlikeable, and the translation has typos. Some are split on whether the dark mystery pays off or falls flat.
