What players say
Players praise the game's heartfelt exploration of identity, depression, and connection through a short visual novel told from both a Chinese-American woman and a man's perspectives. The art and constellation mini-game unlock backstory, but some find the plot underdeveloped, the writing weak, and the choices irrelevant.
