All fields where there were battles are strewn with the killed and those dying from their wounds – our soldiers and the Germans. And how many more will fall? War... What a horror!

I didn't really know I was getting my self into a visual novel simulation. That said, being that unity engine is used and the game looks as amazing as it does, is quite impressive and second to none. These dudes know how to design and make a game that looks this visually beautiful. The story is great, the voice acting gets better, the beginning not the best or believable..this was interesting.12 found this helpful
The game seemed unfinished. The voice acting was pretty bad, and this seemed to hold the game back a lot. Nothing in this game felt smooth, it felt rushed.11 found this helpful
A gorgeous game. It has stunning visuals, a beautiful storyline, solid voice acting and a good soundtrack. Definitely recommended if you enjoy point-and-clicks and cinematic adventures, along with First World War settings.10 found this helpful
Horrible! I paid for what is only part of a game (its episodic which the description doesn't tell you) and the translation is quite poor. Graphics were choppy at best and the whole story line felt rushed. Not happy and do not recommend!5 found this helpful
Not your typical game. Its like a visual novel but with choose your own adventure and on occasion fast choices and interact skills. Its pretty and perhaps a good story. The controls are bound. I either wish they unlock it so i could move with numpad or set up my game pad. The game pad has a few buttons that work but not for all options and it is easier to use the game pad for movement but not for all the mouse jerks and Q at the time. Fix the game pad and add a save feature then the game would be more enticing to try for longer periods of time4 found this helpful
In short, it is a story with some minor interactions and dialogs. The dialogs are your only choices really, though I presume they are only for flavor (I don't think they change the story). I like the story in the only episode they produced, but do not expect much gameplay nor high quality. The story was supposed to be divided into four episodes. WARNING : they only released one episode in 2020 (takes around one hour) and have not produced the others since then, which pretty much garantees they never will. There last message on Steam was also in 2020. DO NOT BUY unless it is about 5 dollars or less. This is about one hour of a story where you only do some minor interactions. It was still rather sweet and I wish they could have done the rest of the story. I actually paid 20 CAD ! (14 USD) Gameplay : extremely scripted and linear interactions. For example, some actions made little sense to me, but you have to click through them all to finish a scene. - The audio quality of some of the voices was very amateurish. - The English subtitles have a significant number of spelling mistakes. - [strike]If you do not click on the right episode, you can lose your progress and…1 found this helpful
