— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“在网吧玩的 还巨卡 玩的时候女主基本上都不动不了 追逐战的时候 狂按才有反应 开门的时候也应该给动画 不然根本不知道是不是开门了 还有拼娃娃那里i第一次玩不搜攻略 基本上都过不了 而且搜了攻略也不行 剧情有点子老套 开头让一个小女孩当诱饵 引诱我们进去 这里太神了（只是说剧情可以新颖一点 我没玩完具体的后续也不知道 别骂我）而且整个游戏 调到最低画质 开了加速器了都还是不行 别的更高gb的游戏都可以畅通无阻的玩 每次玩这个都玩的我好恼火 但是作者应该是文科生来的 写的东西都很有文化 很深奥 而且很有诗意 建模啥的做的非常好”
