What players say
Originally i didn't have enough money to buy this game and so i pirated it. I played trough it many times, eventually reaching a point where i had 93/131 achievements. It was incredibly engaging and fun to explore all the various paths, even trying to figure out all the different "memories" for all the different princeses was incredibly fun. Because i had so much fun i decided to buy it properly and even buy merch...

10/10 I have killed, been killed, loved, hated, cheered & wept. There is a story for everyone in this game. There is so much to see & do.
Whatever horrors you may find in these dark spaces, have heart and see them through. There are no premature endings. There are no wrong decisions. There are only fresh perspectives and new beginnings. This is a love story.
