Steam reviews

What players say

Most players recommend this dark FMV revenge thriller for its acting, production and twists, but many find it short, linear and limited in choices.

Most players praise the acting, cinematography and production values, calling it cinematic and well-paced, with a dark revenge story and surprising twists about bullying and power. Many highlight the feeling of watching a film while making decisions that matter, and several like the investigation mechanics such as timed clue searching and distraction segments. Complaints centre on the short runtime of roughly four to six hours, the linear structure where most wrong choices end in an instant game over, and an ending that some find rushed or anticlimactic. Others mention dubbing and subtitle quality, the mandatory dubbed voice-over, occasional gore and disturbing opening scenes, and Linux playback bugs. Reviews from the last year are mostly positive but a few argue the story becomes less plausible in its later chapters.

    Many players

    Some players

Criticised

  • Short and linear

    Players find the game short, roughly four to six hours, with a linear path and little replay value.

    Many players
  • Few real choices

    Players note that most choices lead to an instant game over, so the correct path is effectively forced and branching feels limited.

    Many players
  • Rushed or weak ending

    Players feel the final chapters are rushed, the ending anticlimactic, or the plot less plausible toward the end.

    Some players
  • Dubbing and subtitles

    Players criticise the AI English dub and the mandatory voice-over, and say subtitles are uneven, preferring the original audio.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits fans of FMV and dark revenge thrillers who want a cinematic, story-driven experience and don't mind a short, mostly linear game.
Who should skip it
Players wanting many meaningful choices, a long campaign or replay value, or those sensitive to graphic bullying and gore should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more hours tend to find the late game and ending rushed or less plausible, while shorter-session players focus more on the acting and twists.
