The verdict

A dark, funny psychological-horror visual novel about two codependent siblings, praised for writing and characters. Skip it if incest, cannibalism or an unfinished Early Access story put you off.

Great for

Players who like dark, character-driven stories about trauma and toxic relationships, with black humor

Main risk

Taboo content (incest, cannibalism) is off-putting, and the story is still unfinished
