What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
This game is short and easy to complete, and despite it insisting you should grab a controller, you can play it just fine without one. It throws you right into the obsession-based horror and maintains the uneasiness throughout, although it doesn't really explain what the horror actually is or why it's happening (I feel like Veil is meant to be a metaphor for Nyx's insecurities about how her fans see her, but I'm not really sure). I appreciate how it addressed the often overlooked darker side of streaming and how difficult and draining it can be. The music and visuals were simple but effective enough, and I appreciate how the game was fully voice acted. I wish the player's choices mattered a bit more, though. Since it's free, I'd recommend it if you're looking for a mildly creepy visual novel to fill a bit of time.2 found this helpful
A short and easy horror game. There isn't much to do though. The achievements are mostly easy, though i think i got stuck on one for a while. While it is simple and the graphics is pixelated 2d, it is still nice and fun to play.2 found this helpful
This lil VN had a friend & I debating who the REAL streamer was after I released this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FJCOKtD1r4 I think this is the 1st game that's ever inspired an offline convo about what was REALLY going on in the story. Very interesting. There are subtle things in the storyline & about the characters that make an observant player/viewer ask some questions. It's short & sweet & made me think a lil, I definitely recommend. Love the art style! Thank you for the VA! It was well done. I dunno if I wish it was all VA or if I appreciate having to read some lines myself. Probably the latter. Coincidently the game was updated shortly after I played it so I will have to return sometime & check out the update. Shows up as a perfect game when all achievements are received. Thanks for the FTP game.1 found this helpful

fun short story, amazing va, cool twist with two endings, worth the 30 minutes i'd say!
nice short game about an obsessive fan with a streamer, would love if it had a bit more length but it was still amazing and the minigames were super fun too! overall: recommended!
