I'm happy I played this game. It's a very slow-paced story game, with a lot of dialogue... which is the absolute opposite of the games I go for. The dialogue system was an interesting take with the timer, the story was darker than I expected, and the characters started out as bland but became more interesting with the voice acting. It was a bit too slow-paced/long for my taste, but aight as an experience. Overall I enjoyed the story. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a light novel book experience of a game. I did run into bugs though. The character tends to get stuck in stairs (which you then have to use arrow keys to break) and one time there was a visual bug of a door being open, which left me wander aimlessly... considering the low pace of the game, it felt like a long time to restart the game and walk back several times to try fix the bugs.

Thoroughly enjoyed the dilemmas and the storytelling.

I have really enjoyed the storytelling and ethical quandaries that this game has superimposed on the spooky end of the spectrum. The art style is really neat. At first, the game is slow and a bit dialogue heavy to set the scene, but don't let it lull you into a false sense of security...things are about to pick up.
