“Fun visual novel with lots of style. Will be on the lookout for a sequel!”
“Incredibly charming game. I had an absolutely blast exploring the world. I'm deeply excited for any future installments, and I want to do some alternate runs in the future!”
“This is a visual novel first and foremost, the point & click puzzle elements are relatively light and most of the decisionmaking happen in social situations, not with logic puzzles. So I will consider this game as a…”

“short, sweet has some branching paths, It was interesting but I am little sad the conclusion was so wild and out there when it could have been a more down to earth (ironic I know) story.”
“Quite an entertaining VN. I finished it over the course of two sessions and enjoyed the twists and turns. Enough choices given to the player to lead to a satisfying conclusion, and of course room for a sequel. Takes…”

“an interesting detective'ish story in a cool setting, only to be ruined by a flat and empty ending. as with a lot of stories, the authors didn't know what to do in the end with what they built”
“There are no real downsides to the story or the art. Its just they are all written about as BORING as it gets. I'm over half way in, and I have no real intention of finishing, because I can't give a **** about the…”

“Hey you, yeah you reading. Do it. Short, pretty sweet, sometimes funny, sometimes scarry, always vibing in green 💚. You gotta come up with both a first and last name tho, good luck o7”
“The game can be finished in five hours or less. It's a visual novel style game, and has that gundam vibe I like. The ending is a bit jarring, but does a good job. You don't get an epic scale experience. it's more like a…”

“I enjoyed the look quite a bit, the soundtrack was mostly good, but the one on the start screen is kinda annoying. I liked most of the character and the interactions. Shame the game ends kinda suddenly. I do hope there…”
“A Nice short Sci-Fi VN with an interesting Story and Twist! Only thing I could complain about is that the Music is....just alright. At the start I didn't like it at all, it being very loud and shrill, though after a…”
“100% never bored, soundtrack was repetitive yet i wasn't annoyed because the story, art and design is GOOD. I WANT MORE. SEQUEL WHEN?!”

“I'm not even finished with my first playthrough and I want a sequel.”
— a player, Steam review · 79 hrs played“This is, without a doubt, one of my absolute favorite games I've played in a very long time! It's a fantastic blend of old-school point-and-click gameplay with a more standard visual novel format, that features gorgeous artwork, a solid soundtrack, and a really lovable cast of…”
— a player, Steam review · 14 hrs played“It was pretty good. Some of the escape scenarios are a bit tedious where you know what to do but telling the game that is a bit contrived. Interesting script on the game, I enjoyed it.”
