What players say

81% of 5,272 reviews are positive · 97% of 41 in the last 30 days

Players praise the female protagonist route for its distinct perspective and social links, and they also value the story. The most common complaints are blurry, poorly upscaled backgrounds and heavily compressed audio, which players say remain unfixed. Some also find Tartarus repetitive.
