Ratings and reviews

An alright game experience... I enjoyed the soundtrack, but the controls and gameplay were so incredibly slow it was driving me nuts, especially waiting for text messages to pop up. I would have preferred if you allowed me to click through text messages like you did with the dialogue. The sound design could use a lot more variation (e.g. the same exact cough noise used every time), and I wish there had been a choice for a happier ending, but it was a realistic story I guess.

I've been following the Game Dev's work for awhile and more or less went through their entire catalogue and I must say, these are not just games but ART. The music, the storytelling and the dialogues — TuoMuseo does a fantastic job when it comes to capturing the depth and intensity of the scenes. This is just absolute Cinema, waiting for more !!!!!!

A must play. Been playing story driven games for years now and can confidently recommend it. If you expect extraordinary gameplay, you're in the wrong place. 2D - side scrolling games have their own limitations. There is scope of improvement on the overall fluidity of the game. (There are occassional stutters, and some double tap register timing issues with the rhythm game) Story is enjoyable. Kept me wishing for a better ending. Choices having a larger impact on story would've been appreciable.
