Ratings and reviews

Just one word "MASTERPIECE". The art style, the music,the drawings,the characters,the story, the environment,all these things are perfect.The game is complete masterpiece. I honestly like horror or mysterious type story games, I just don't like a romantic type of game but man it's completely different from inside, its packed with thriller, suspense,bit of romance which is good, I downloaded it cause of its ratings, so I thought I will give it a go and my decision was lucky,because it's worth it.

I just finished it today, and all I can say is, "WOW!" This is honestly the first game I’ve played that’s this good and leaves you wanting more. I don’t usually rate apps or games I download, but this one deserves recognition. The story is amazing, the voice actors did such a great job, and the background music is so good and fit so well. Everything is perfect. I'm definitely recommending this to my friend since we both love this kind of game.☺️💜

Overall, this is a great story with relatable characters. I do wish that there were a couple of things that could have been avoided through choices, but enjoyed reading it. Note to developer - If you like Jean-Michel Jarre, check out Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, and Vangelis.
