### 3/5 — Good game, needs some fixes

*2026-06-20, version 1.0.0*

The game is overall really good and I had a BLAST playing it, but I feel as if we shouldn’t have to purchase the next chapters. I wasn’t aware of that before playing the game and it made me extremely disappointed to have to purchase the next chapters. Would recommend to play though !!

### 5/5 — Developer pls read this

*2026-05-30, version 1.0.0*

Okay so this game is crazyyy good I love the art and endings but at the end it says u have to purchase chapter 2 and 3? I really don’t want to waste my money on a game so perhaps u could add adds to the game -not a lot- so we the players can still play ch 2 and 3?
Thank you

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2026-05-20, version 1.0.0*

This game is actually flipping amazing. The story, the music, the visuals! I couldn’t stop playing, it was like reading a book you can’t put down. It does cost money in the later chapters but honestly I highly recommend buying them. The developers have definitely poured their  heart into this project and I think it’s a great way to support them (also it’s worth it).

### 5/5 — I NEED MOREEEEE

*2025-02-18, version 1.0.0*

This game is so good. The visuals are great, the story is impressive, and the gameplay is chefs kiss. The whole game there was always something to ponder on and investigate and it keeps you so invested. There is in game purchases to progress the story and I usually don’t buy in game chapters and stuff but I did this time and it was totally worth it.  I totally think this game deserves more recognition for how great it is. I do with there was more story though but that’s just because I can’t get enough. (Kinda bad at writing reviews but the game was really good so I had too)

### 5/5 — This game is one that you do not want to miss!

*2023-11-18, version 1.0.0*

The story is really intriguing and the character design is amazing. Sadly, only the first episode is free, but it is still a really great experience.

### 4/5 — Best game ever but…

*2023-06-01, version 1.0.0*

It is so good the mystery and the characters are really nice but the reason I can’t give this 5 stars is because chapter 2&3 cost money if you guys make the other chapters free I would definitely recommend this game and give you 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

### 5/5 — LOVELY

*2023-05-07, version 1.0.0*

AMAZING danganronpa like story
I fixed the glitch I mentioned earlier this game is solid 10/10 no glitches as far as the eye can tell

### 5/5 — i love it sm

*2023-04-27, version 1.0.0*

ITS SO GOOD AHHGSHSG you actually get to investigate the scenes for yourself and I love how you get to play detective😭😭😭the music and art is really gorgeous as well, it was super immersive already within the first 10 minutes of playing. The dialogue is good and I love the choices that we get in the game, I was expecting for everything to just play out by itself like most visual novels, but this really had a fun aspect of interaction that was super awesome 💕💕💕💕super underrated, I recommend it a lot

### 5/5 — Absolutely 100% download this game!

*2023-03-18, version 1.0.0*

This game is really fun and it actually makes you think, but when i finished chapter one, i was a bit bummed out to see chapters 2 and 3 are unlocked by pay. I’d absolutely love to play the other chapters based on what I've seen in chapter 1.

### 5/5 — Amazing game! However..

*2023-03-02, version 1.0.0*

This game was so good, I played the first chapter and was so happy to make sure the lord didn’t die. But was upset to find that the next chapters were locked by purchase. I would really love to enjoy the next two chapters but will not be spending the money to do so. But besides that, amazing game!! I found myself really having a good time playing. 💙
