What players say

Players are split on the typing mechanic, some find it immersive while others say it becomes tedious and strains the hands. The romance paths with Emily and Evelyn feel nearly identical, and the first playthrough locks you into a bad ending, making replays feel like a grind. Many bought it just for the Windows XP Steam background but ended up enjoying the story.
