What players say

Players say romance and character dynamics are the main draw, with a plot and pacing that remind many of a CW show. The detective storyline gets mixed reactions: some find it too linear with forced stupid decisions, while others enjoy the supernatural mystery. The advertised word count is misleading, as a single playthrough is shorter than expected.
