What players say

Players say it is a clear improvement over the first game, with better pacing, a multi-layered story spanning generations, and investigations that feel modern. The game is long, around 40 hours, and requires multiple playthroughs for the true ending. Reviews note disturbing content including incest and sexual violence, and players are divided on whether the h-scenes feel relevant or gratuitous.
