Steam reviews

What players say

Players overwhelmingly enjoy its mix of cute presentation and psychological horror, with the story and twists as the main draw, though many are frustrated by the still-missing Peaceful Mode.

Many players praise the story and its twists, which they say unfold in unexpected ways and reward going in blind. Players also like the mix of cozy, cute visuals with unsettling horror moments, the soundtrack, and the voice acting. Some highlight the mini-games and collectables, and several say the game is short but worth the time. The most frequent complaint is the promised Peaceful Mode, which many reviewers say is still not out despite long waiting. Some reviewers also find the ending abrupt and the looping, repetitive sections tedious. Recent reviews are more critical of the ending and pacing than the older helpful ones, and several negative reviews are mainly about how the developers handled promised updates rather than the game itself.

Praised

  • Story and twists

    Players say the narrative keeps surprising them, with twists that recast what came before and rewards for going in unspoiled.

    Some players

    Some players

Criticised

  • Peaceful Mode still missing

    Reviewers say the promised Peaceful Mode has not arrived after long waiting, and some say they are disappointed with the developers' communication.

    Many players
  • Abrupt ending

    Players find the ending underwhelming or abrupt, and say it spoiled their overall impression despite the rest of the story.

    A few players
  • Repetitive looping sections

    Players find the repeated, looping rooms and tasks tedious and say they slow the pacing of a short game.

    A few players
Who it suits
Suits players who enjoy story-driven psychological horror with a cute surface, short games they can finish in one sitting, and who go in without spoilers.
Who should skip it
Should skip it if you dislike anime-style characters or want a long, deep game, or if you are put off by an unreleased promised feature and the developers' handling of updates.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more hours more often raise the missing Peaceful Mode and the repetitive loops, while newer players focus on the story and atmosphere.
