“Super creative, and fun. At times I felt so stupid, but the challenge made the game fun, and Niko is such a lovable character! You really feel like you're connecting with Niko, as if this is not a game and is in fact…”
“This is such a great game with interesting mechanics and a strong immersion. Do not expect any kind of 4th walls in any form in this game (they're all broken) 10/10 Niko is such a nice car :3”
“Very immersive game, got hooked to all the characters pretty fast, love the fourth wall breaks as well, very fun gameplay too! :3”

“Unforgettable journey. I walked in blind to what I thought would be a simple RPGMaker game, I walked away in an emotion-filled flurry. The emotional toll this game had on me... it was something that sticks with me even months after completing it. ACTUAL SPOILERS AHEAD…”

Without getting to heavy in spoiler territory if u somehow didn't see anything of this game like I did you are gonna wanna turn wallpaper engine off and really listen to how they want you to…”
