I can't resist a good mystery with casualties racking up and stakes ramping up, and this VN certainly satiates my appetite for that! I enjoy the creepy moments and the impending sense of doom, which the in-game clocks serve to highlight.
The characters are adorable and full of personality. I enjoy the way the choices allow the player to explore and examine, then reflect and speculate based on all the information collected.
The pixelated art style of the sprites and the backgrounds, retro aesthetic and interface, CRT filter, and soundtrack and sound design all contribute to a moody, atmospheric, and nostalgic experience overall.
Thank you to the team for creating such an amazing game! I definitely want to replay it a few more times to unlock more endings.
