What players think
The recurring themes across 59 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Well drawn characters, lots of detailed CGs, a good variety of backgrounds and while the interface has some clutter, it looks cool.
Sound effects are spot on and independently adjustable volume controls for voice, music, and environmental sounds allow you to take full advantage of them.
I loved the art style, it's anime-style but it has it's own identity, and I loved the premise.
Lots of beautiful CGs, neatly drawn backgrounds, creative User Interface, bright colors and fancy effects everywhere.
The actual gameplay in OWiE is almost entirely like basically every other visual novel, mostly just watching and listening and following along, making an occasional choice from an on-screen list of a small number of choices.
It runs great on the Steam Deck, but it takes a few minutes to load the game... for some reason.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No themes split opinion in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
