What players think
The recurring themes across 31 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
~25–35 hours for a relaxed read of the main story; longer if you savor the prose, glossary, and added Refrain bonus scenarios.
There isn’t much gameplay, but the poem–newspaper mechanic, the strong voice acting, and the expressive visual direction kept me engaged.
The anime art style is unique, blending dark fantasy and gothic influences, with rich CG scenes drawn by AKIRA that bring characters and environments to life.
