The verdict
A short, deeply emotional indie RPG with an acclaimed soundtrack, memorable characters and choices that matter. Skip it if you dislike bullet-hell dodging, arrow-key-only controls or story-first pacing.
Great for
Story-first players who like music, quirky characters, moral choices and multiple routes
Main risk
Bullet-hell combat and humor or pacing may not click, so the hype can leave you bored or frustrated.
