Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise 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).

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack...was banger.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise 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.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics were appropriate to the setting and were generally well done.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise 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.
