“I've purchased this game four times, completed it more than I should have, and have watched the anime in Japanese and English, and let me tell you, I still can't get enough of it. Otome is my precious daughter and I…”
“The greatest social deduction game ever made is single-player... Fundamentally, GNOSIA seems to have set out to do two things. Creating an engaging mafia/werewolf game, and also making you care about its characters.…”
“As someone who loves social games like Mafia and Werewolf, GNOSIA really caught my interest. A visual novel with roguelike elements that hits all the right notes? Sign me up! I haven’t read that many visual novels, and…”

“Gnosia is like a social deduction game without the stupid and annoying people, ergo much better than most social deduction games!”

“[h1] Wow, just wow! [/h1] Damn, rarely ever do I encounter a piece of media just [i] this [/i] good. I could go on and on and on about how much I enjoyed Gnosia's visual art, plotline, dialogues, and the characters'…”
“I felt a bit frustrated with the way things are explained in the manual at first. Near the beginning I would have almost quit the game, because they suddenly gave me all these options but I've barely experienced…”
“As someone who watched the anime first: The game surpassed my expectations by far. At first the game seems to be repetitive but the random story events keep it incredibly fresh and entertaining. Even if you've watched…”

“Interesting concept, great characters cast, excellent music, very well executed. Cryminally underrated. Show is great too.”

“Incredible sci-fi narrative wrapped in a rather mediocre game of single-player mafia. Social deduction games require other people; game AI can’t replicate that experience, and in this game you need specific scenarios to…”

“I decided to give this game a try, despite the fact that I find werewolf-type games to be fun for a short period of time only. This game really surprised me. It is engaging with an interesting story line and and diverse…”
“I got the game after finishing the show, and I'll be honest I was feeling guilty that i wasn't really "getting it" at the start but I started actually enjoying it around say the ~30th loop? Basically when you unlock all…”
“As a note: though I've got plenty to go in playing Gnosia on Steam, I've gotten Platinum on the game through Playstation 5 and put over 30 hours into it. So, this is The Thing: Gnosia's a tough game for people starting…”

“Baby's first time loop, do NOT believe the hype surrounding this game. If your here specifically for the gameplay, you should be fine. If your here for a story, turn back now and run the other way. This games story is…”

“Easy recommend. You start a new game and you’re immediately choosing your stats. You click go and you’re in the game and playing. No 30-minute cutscene of exposition and no getting bombarded with tutorial messages. I’m…”

“The game is great, but japanese programmers are the f*cking worst. every japanese game i played runs horribly and is atrocious in every technical aspect. this game has a bug, where if you alt-tab during the game's…”
“The writing is good, very good. But you need to be aware this isn't a VN, there is very very little actual writing in it. The overwhelming majority of the time playing is in a single player version of Werewolf. But it's…”

“This game is awesome! I highly recommend it. It's less of a "roguelike" and more like a linear story with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scifi story, like Zero Escape. The only criticism I have is that there is no voice acting, but that's…”
“Excellent game with perfect story plot and BGM. The ending BGM is my favourite BGM in this game. Anime also is great too. Hope the game can add the audio since the anime characters voice are fascinating.”
“Good solid game in need of a few QoL improvements Would welcome an anime enhanced remaster with voiced dialogue, cutscenes and maybe a bit more story to explore 7.5/10”

“Watched the anime and liked it so much so I decide to play the game before the anime finishes airing. really like the game even though its kind of repetitive. finish game and get the true ending. Decide to re-watch the anime. Now just angry at how the anime changes a lot of…”

It's almost like a game of chess at which you start off so grossly disadvantaged, a toddler newly learning from a skilled parent is slightly better than you by comparison. First off, you begin with a…”
