Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly love the art, soundtrack and emotional story, though many find the pacing repetitive and the endings uneven.

Many players describe the hand-drawn art, music and sound design as the highlight, and the story as sad, mysterious and moving, with several saying it made them cry. Players praise the writing of the characters and the central premise of helping callers before the world ends, and the ending is singled out by many as a strong payoff. The main complaints are repetition: scenes and dialogue are often recapped or repeated within minutes, and some plot beats or long phone calls are replayed several times. Some players also find the middle or late chapters drag, that the choices carry little weight because wrong answers are simply retried, and that a few answers are too easy to get wrong. A minority feel the repetition and slow pacing spoil the experience, and that the game is more reading than playing.

Criticised

  • Repetitive dialogue
