Quarantine Circular

this is a fun game! i played it a while ago and recently revisited it with a few friends. the characters are fun and the story is gripping. simple decisions can feel weighty, characters feel consistent and well written, and the stakes escalate to ensure interesting tensions and conflicts.

A nice short 3d visual novel in a sci/fi setting with multiple endings and good character development. Recommended for the price.

It's okay for what it is, I wish I could give an "it's okay" review but ultimately the characters weren't that compelling. The chapters are extremely short so you never grow attached to any of them except Gabriel but he turns into a hypocritical idiot at the end and kinda ruins everything that's established throughout the game so it just left a bad taste in my mouth. Also, you can't kiss the alien which is another big negative.

Outstanding dialogue that gives every character a distinct voice and perspective. Conversations feel natural, layered and emotionally varied, making even exposition engaging. Strong thematic writing that explores fear, misinformation, authority and empathy without feeling heavy-handed. Minimalist visuals complement the narrative rather than distract from it, allowing the writing and performances to remain the focus. [b]❌ Cons [/b] Puzzle design is a noticeable step down from …

Short, but savory.

A+ little visual novel. Game is short (3-4 hours at most), but the story is very interesting with some fun twists and turns. The characters are great, the writing is good, and the music is fantastic. Price point is quite good for a game of this length, so don't let the short length stop you from enjoying something special.
