What players say

96% of 11,304 reviews are positive · 96% of 498 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the central mystery, social-deduction debates, character writing, and Revelation Mode's added perspectives. The most common complaint is that the final routes and ending do not resolve the mystery satisfyingly; some also find the late exposition excessive and the branching more linear than expected.
