What players say
Players call Zarie a very short visual novel about walking through hell with a shinigami and discussing sin and the afterlife. While it can be finished in 20 minutes to an hour, choices only change a few lines of dialogue, not the ending. Some players find the twist and emotional tone memorable, others think it leaves them feeling hollow or unsatisfied.
