What players say
OK that was cool. What a nice little game: Surprising, fun, difficult at times with some of the very twisted "choices matter" aspects. However: Fortunately relatively little (because fast) grind to get all achievements. I'd let my kid play this game.
Aesthetically nice, it's got a great style but it's just kind of.. eh? Some of the choices end up not making sense? Very short too. Not awful for a couple quid but a bit underwhelming.
Fun, little choices matter reading game! Made me smile a few times Bigger than it seems at first A chore to 100% though I wish you could just skip story scenes that you've seen a lot already, but you can't Otherwise worth the playthrough 8/10
