What players say
95% of 6,446 reviews are positive · 97% of 97 in the last 30 days
Players often praise the art, music, eerie atmosphere, and how clues fit together across the different viewpoints. The most common complaint is that the curse-driven prologue gives way to a more conventional visual novel with sparse puzzles and limited choice. Many also find the later pacing and ending weaker.
