Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
58 of 143 sampled reviews raised it
Everything from decorations, to subtle references, to a slew of graffiti giving nods to people involved in the game’s development brings everything together in the eerie aesthetic and story that it tells.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
44 of 143 sampled reviews raised it
It’s a game that isn’t afraid to be an in-depth RPG, nor is it afraid to be reminiscent of the more exploration-focused Horror games that put RPG Maker back on the map.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
25 of 143 sampled reviews raised it
You are never really bottlenecked into approaching combat in an “intended” way, and it never feels overtuned.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
11 of 143 sampled reviews raised it
The characters are strong and distinct--any one of the playable characters could carry the game's story on their own back alone, tbh, but it would be a crime to split this party.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 143 sampled reviews raised it
Outside of battles, Daybreak and the Vedim Space are also delightful to explore, with plenty of unique visuals to see and experience.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 143 sampled reviews raised it
The OST it is very cool, I hope the developers publish it somewhere.
