immediately bought this game bc i saw it on sale and found it intriguing. i finished this game in one sitting. i almost gave this one up when it was getting creepy. I THOUGHT THIS GAME ISN'T and is js about time travel or something. maybe i didn't read the descriptions that much. but i enjoyed it and still got a nice ending. i reco this game to those who want to finish a game with a storyline and don't have that much time.

I tried very hard to enjoy this project. The style, story, horror aspects and presentation of the game are all really unique and interesting. If they werent- I wouldn't have spent 2 hours constantly resetting and re-attempting to make anything at all work with me. Unfortunately the game fights you at every single opportunity, resulting in an unplayable experience flooded with game breaking bugs that were being posted about on launch. The primary progression of the game involves entering the subway station, interacting with something/someone, then getting on the train to move forward to the next day or area. Infuriatingly, your companion NPC will board the train at every possible chance, leaving you behind and forcing you to start all over through a tirade of un-skippable dialogue. That, or he doesnt board the train while you do, he doesnt get off of the train with you, or most common of all, the train simply gets stuck running forever, forcing another restart. Objects you interact with disappear. I've fallen off the subway platform. If you take the escalator instead of the stairs, theres a 50/50 chance of you getting completely stuck and having to restart again. There are few thin…

I had a great time with this game. The story is emotional and engaging, and I really enjoyed seeing how everything unfolded. The art style is also incredibly unique and gives the game a memorable identity. One of my favorite parts was the songs from Rich! My only disappointment was the length. I was expecting the game to last around 3–5 hours, but I finished it in roughly 1–3 hours. It left me wanting more because I was so invested in the story and characters. Overall, it's a beautiful narrative experience with a distinctive visual style, an excellent soundtrack, and a compelling story. I just wish it had been a little longer.

This is my first ever review on a game in steam, I like the story, I like the music, I love the voice acting, I feel the emotion, I was attached to Rich and Faye. My only problem is that it's a little glitchy on my part. Maybe because of my laptop specs that it keeps crashing on me, I only wish there is like a save point/chapter choices so I can go back to try different choices to experience it again, and maybe skip scenes I already did. Overall I really love this game, I hope the team continues forward as well and make more games like that and improve as well. P.S: I got jumpscared a lot

I'm in love how the game setting represents where I live xD especially the ads in the subway is so familiar to what I see at my own subway. I also did not know this was a Filipino based story, which is very interesting :]. Unfortunately I refunded this game because it was very glitchy and has lots of bugs ... I am always repeating a specific day and cannot progress the story... (unsure if this is part of the story....) I'll give this a negative for now, hopefully the game developers can fix this. I would not mind re-buying and play this game again when I see some future reviews or updates that this issue has been fixed.
