Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
31 of 54 sampled reviews raised it
The game's lightweight presentation, straightforward controls, controller support, and emphasis on dialogue and simple interactions make it well suited to handheld play.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 54 sampled reviews raised it
Another short Pixel Pulp VN with stylish visuals and decent, if a bit rushed, writing.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
6 of 54 sampled reviews raised it
They’re developing a distinct style/gameplay mechanic (their next game – "Bahnsen Knights" – looks very much within that framework), making it easier to say: “If you liked one of their games, you’ll most likely enjoy this one”, with the opposite being equally true.
