What players say
Players praise this dark retelling of Donkeyskin for its time loop mechanic, which lets the protagonist grow through repeated attempts to escape a grim fate. The art and animation are consistently highlighted, and many note the strong appeal of its sapphic romance options. Some players found the mature themes heavier than expected.
