What players say

Players are split: some value the deeper character focus and story, while others find the visual novel format tedious with repetitive dialogue and a slow, corridor-walking map. The reused sprites from the first game are noted as sloppy, and the titular Book of Shadows itself barely appears until the prologue for the next game.
