What players say

Players overall enjoy the retro Famicom-style command-based adventure, praising the nostalgic pixel art and the solid mystery story, but many are frustrated by missing modern convenience features like text speed control, skip, and a single save slot, as well as a small window that cannot be made fullscreen. There are also complaints about a tough minigame that can stall progress.
