88 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story-wise it makes total sense because you are supposed to take the role of your character, but on gameplay level - completely no and this can be a bit frustrating.

85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is a fantastic game with simple but fun game mechanics and an emphasis on generating a unique storyline within a certain frame (the start and possible endings depend on the various characters)!

44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics - The 2D graphics are very detailed with some amazing background settings, as far as pixel art goes, and the characters are well animated.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Between the soundtrack, appealing art style, and overwhelming sense of loneliness and trepidation while on the road, there was that exhilarating anxiety at every encounter.
