What players say
Adore this, so glad a sequel came out and I'm eagerly awaiting the third game in the series. I played all routes, have to say I really enjoy the different characters you can create and their effects. I'm far more drawn to playing pacifist (peeving many characters, and attracting a very special outcome if you play right.)

This is one of my favorite games of all time. It's well thought out, engaging, and I replay it all the time. Now that the sequel is out, I keep replaying it, too!! If you're even considering buying this game, I would suggest you do so.
Lots of interesting choices, lots of twists and turns, good romance. Will play again!
