I did not know the novel before, I stayed away from Kafka I must admit, because I was tortured in school with him. Nevertheless I got hooked rightaway. Fascinating story and the grafics are beautiful. The sounds are fitting very well too. Altogether enjoyable and I will have more understanding for the little creatures from now on ;-)1 found this helpful
I kept falling asleep trying to read this. The combination of no music for 99% of the time, no sound effects 99% of the time (the typewriter was annoying and promptly muted), the slow text speed (I know I can press space again to make it all appear, but I should just be able to use an option for that) and the real life source just killed it. I'll freely admit this was not for me so take this for what you will.1 found this helpful
This is the story of my life.
A very short and fairly boring interactive novel with lackluster story
Visual novel that blends the story well, sets up the right atmosphere for the story.
