What players say

89% of 8,733 reviews are positive · 83% of 67 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the writing and world-building, with the soundtrack and art also drawing approval. Their recurring complaint is that unclear stat requirements lock major choices late in the story, so desired outcomes can require advance planning or restarts.
