Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
196 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is engaging, with plenty of twists and turns, multiple endings that never bog down the continued experience, and as mentioned before, a fresh look at how you can approach the genre (at least compared to previous VNs I've played).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game takes the visual novel genre and completely upends it, trying out fresh, and dare I say bold new gameplay elements that really breathe some new life into the genre.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The OST especially gives each character a different feel, with the detectives sound track being my favourite.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics were appropriate to the setting and were generally well done.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This masterpiece unfolds as a sweeping, multi-perspective drama populated by a vast and intricate roster of unforgettable characters.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On top of having the files easily accessible, the game play (however you wish to choose – I happened to play exclusively on my Steam Deck) gives the player more agency to explore the characters’ surroundings and learn more of what they know, which happens to be a significant amount.
