What players say

c'était... une expérience ??? le style est mignon, les illus sympa et déjantées, comme les dialogues. le talent de ce jeu, c'est de te faire décrocher des dialogues très vite parce que tu comprends rien, avant de te donner un coup dans l'estomac avec la fin (quelque soit la route). bon euh je suis pas fan des stéréotypes (jeune garçon, prof qu'on peut date...) mais comme c'est le dernier des soucis dans le jeu mdr...
