What players think
The recurring themes across 89 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Reed (please, google it, its paid version has some utterly unique features, while its free version is already easily 10/10 to me), especially—mild spoilers for both the game and the novel!—the existence of different worlds with the different sets of the same main characters, where the PoV character gets, for some time, the “other” version of their loved one, and the liminal place connecting those worlds in a way that it’s possible to get lost on the wrong side.
For the most part this is a very well-presented and atmospheric game - the visuals, especially the character art, are unique and stylish and the music and voice acting are both great as well.
Its unsettling atmosphere is incredibly rich and utterly unparalleled, and I especially love how it’s supported by the visuals, sounds (I hear the elevator chime and hum in my mind’s ear right now) and the game mechanics itself.
Gameplay-wise this is mostly a point-and-click adventure game with a fair amount of visual novel segments thrown in.
