What players say

Players call it a short visual novel inspired by Zero Escape, finishing in 3 to 5 hours. Reviews praise the music and atmosphere but criticize the story as mediocre, the characters as flat, and the text as full of typos. Opinion is split on whether the low price justifies the length and rough edges.
