Going through all the endings was really worth it. Everything made sense at once and it was really satisfying

I really enjoyed this game quite a bit! It is mostly a text based story with you making choices along the way to determine how the story plays out. And in order to make a choice you have to play a little game, which is overall not too challenging however it is a nice addition to mix it up. The story is really where this game shines, it was super interesting to piece together the overarching story, and I found myself...
This game does not deserve the %80 rating. The game is too short to be in that price range . Only buy it if it is in a sale
