What players say
This game is fun to play. Once. There are 3 endings but one of the dialogues made so little sense to me as about the good ending. The music is nice everywhere besides the two dark realms where it's actually annoying. There's not much replay value. The game doesn't change but that makes it easier to search for secrets or try getting other endings, since the replays take less time. I beat it twice and it clocked 4...

Soulles Ray of Hope, frankly I like this game but it still has its shortcomings. The puzzles in the game are good, thought provoking, but one puzzle is meaningless to me. The mechanics of the game are pretty good. His story tried to be beautiful, but unfortunately it was not well told. The episode designs are beautiful and the tempo-changing scenes are set, which makes the game enjoyable. The atmosphere of the game...
It's very short. Less than 3 hours. You move very slowly. You take 3 seconds to pull yourself up a ledge. (WHAT?! WHY?! WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?!) Very easy, but the slow movement and slow climbing makes the chase sections very annoying. Bad endings, and it is painful to obtain all of the endings. I was left with the feeling of "That's it? That's all there is to the story and ending?!"
