I loved the mystery of Luce's secret friend and the story as a whole, I loved the interactions between all the characters and building my relationships with them and discovering which responses worked best with each one.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
15 of 60 sampled reviews raised it
For a more casual playstyle, I found this game to be super enjoyable, and while the combat could be challenging, you got xp towards your abilities to help make them stronger when you failed which helped a bit for additional attempts.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 60 sampled reviews raised it
The game is pretty, the art style is nice but that's all good i can say about this game.
