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.

The music, art & story is great. FInished it in one sitting + no ads. The art style's nice, the story was slow and rushed at the same time. There were times that it was dragging specially in the middle, the story is warm and heartbreaking as well. It's just annoying how you have to wait at times for you to be able to press the screen, like everything's in slow motion, I do get that at some scenes it adds that dramatic effect but sometimes it's just annoying.

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.
