故事的构思并没有那么精妙。我在期待一些特别的内幕/伏笔/反转,但结果只是一个。。女同性恋故事??这个价格我会期待更大的体量,更强的游戏性和更精妙的剧情设计。唯一有趣的地方是通过安排其他角色的行为来解锁一个角色的新分支以及新的行为模式。总的来说是个非常非常一般的游戏,完全没有达到我的预期。不到一个半小时就玩完了。。

This is an excellent game. It's short but has a fun gameplay feedback loop. I really appreciate the diagram for the endings. The game is built well, the game mechanics are sound and the illustrations are beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed the game.

“BAD END THEATER” is one of the most unique indie games I’ve ever played in a really long time. Its unique storyline lets the player switch between different protagonists, and with every choice you make changes not only your own outcome but everyone else’s as well. Instead of encouraging you to find a “perfect” ending, the game encourages you to experience every (and I mean EVERY) bad ending, it turns your failure into an important part of the storyline. Also, the amazing art style, the characters, and the great soundtrack create an atmosphere that’s both cute and surprisingly emotional. What really makes the game stand out is how it makes you explore the different perspectives and consequences that each character has. Each character has their own motivations and the events through different eyes make the story feel fresh each time. Despite the fact that it's a short playtime. I really enjoyed the game's creative storytelling, replayability, and emotional depth. It’s a great experience for anyone who enjoys narrative driven type games.“BAD END THEATER” is one of the most unique indie games I’ve ever played in a really long time.

This game is so good, I got all the endings in a little under 80 minutes but it was such a fun 80 minutes. The characters are so fun and easy to fall in love with and every ending I would feel such strong emotions for them. Love this game so much!!

Wonderful game, even if a bit short in my opinion. A unique game concept that left me wanting more. "What if I try-" *You die* "How about-" *You die* "This has to-" *You die* Absolutely need more games like this.
