While the beginning is a little long, and perhaps a little rough, stick with it. By fifteen minutes in I was sent to another dimension where hands stuck out of the ground in what could only be described as a fever dream on par with Psychonauts. This game really tends to go from 0, to 100 in terms of legit scaring and putting you into creepy situations. And I like that, it reminds me of playing the mysterious yet dark T rated games as a kid again.

Let it be known though, this is more visual novel with rpg elements second. Lots of reading, but really good dialogue and characters. Tons of fun interactions, lots of heart to hearts, and... *bonk*

But, the rpg elements are nearly just as good when they are there! Lots of great skills, easy to understand mechanics, and an even more intriguing leveling system!

If you've read up to this point, then the icing on the cake is the fact that YOU get to choose the story! There were so many choices I didn't think I'd get to have, yet the game gave me the option. Want to change how one character is? There's a possibility that's just off the beaten path! Want to make the main character stick to their ideals? I was actually given that ability!

So here's my conclusion for the price of 1/5th of a big title go out and buy four indie games, and this one! "The consequence here is..." "You get to enjoy some... *bonk*, ahem, fun quirky story and lovably characters." <3
