✦ AI summary

ERROR143 is a short visual novel that wins players over with its charming main character Micah and distinctive art style, though some feel it lacks content depth for the asking price. The game excels in presentation with customizable text speed, voice acting, and an engaging soundtrack that create an intimate storytelling experience, and many players found the narrative emotionally meaningful and romantic. Most reviewers enthusiastically recommend it and suggest the DLC expansions add substantial value, though prospective players should know upfront that the base game is relatively brief.

I played this expecting a revolutionizing game, but it's really short for what it is. There is not many endings, but the main character is extremely charming and makes the game worth it. MC feels like a white pick-me though, so keep that in mind. Regardless, the art style and gameplay give it an unique edge to the visual novel scene, so give it a try!

This game is so peak I cannot have enough words to describe how much I love this game. Every penny I spent on this game worth it. I bought dlcs to try since the free version was so entertaining for me. THEY DID NOT DISSAPOINT IT WAS EVEN MORE THAN THAT THE FREE VERSION WAS JUST THE SURFICE. SHOUTOUT TO THE CREATOR WHO MADE THIS MASTERPIECE PLEASE KEEP MAKING GAMES I LOVED YOUR STORY WRITING A LOT. For me It was such a good experience I think a lot of people should experience the MICAH YUJIN EXPERIENCEEEE!!! Not even joking when I say he healed a part of me. I literally became a better person after this game. It even effected my real relationships now its healthier than before. I love meaningful stories that touches your life in a good way and this was one of them. Obviosly it is just my personal experience so It might differ for others. I still havent gotten all endings I am scared of bad ones tbh.. I WOULD PLAY IT AGAIN after a while later, It is the kind of game I do not want to forget. I might edit my comment later after finishing all the endings.

At least kiss the brick before you throw it in my face, why wont you???? In all seriousness, it was so beautiful that I'm writing this as I sob. I didn't expect it to show the LITERAL end, but it's such a beautiful love story. I love Mikah so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ muuuuuuch <3 Highly recomend this game for everyone who wants to believe in true love

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
