Why players love itThings to know
75% of themes are praise25% are divided0% are complaints
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
99 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Rather than focusing on action-heavy gameplay or cinematic spectacle, the title embraces storytelling as its greatest strength, delivering a rich narrative experience where every decision can alter the course of the adventure.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Exploring its twisting streets often feels like solving an elaborate fantasy puzzle where observation and memory are just as important as combat skills.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-Unique combat system that is based on math and using logic to determine the enemies' next action
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The evocative art style present in the original book was nicely augmented with good ambient noises.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The only real minor criticism I have is the interface seems designed much better for touch than for trackpad, but it is still a very simple interface and very easy to play on any device.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-Not much music (Mostly just one combat track I believe) but the atmospheric audio is good and helps to bolster your imagination (Perhaps not many unique examples of sounds but they work to build the setting: this place is wet, this place is busy etc.) -No voice acting though so you have to read the masses of text but fans of the visual novel probably expect that
