Simple game but very very effective in storytelling. Choose your path wisely!

Simple, yet engaging

Manages to do a lot narratively working with relatively little. Worth the time and money.

A really good game.

I really like how the game uses the phone ringer and images as jump scares.

Can't run at all

I have gaming laptop Ryzen 9, Nvidia 4070 mobile, external 4K display. I only get black screen of death that jumps between external and internal display even though internal display should not even be in use. After around 15 minutes on that display ping pong, I get back to windows desktop.

A Unique VN

First off, a tip: Do not glance at the achievements. A few have spoilers in the title. Pros: well-written believable characters, engaging and immersive interface, a couple of decent privacy invasion style puzzles Cons: kind of light on engaging puzzles, one poorly implemented timed puzzle, weak story Mehs: You are committed to your choices. There's no manual saves. There's no reversing your decisions (although you get some second chances). Overall, the voyeur experience was done pretty well for a first entry. You participate in dialogue with a handful of characters throughout and you get a decent amount of options. Like a VN it feels pretty on rails for the most part and it's pretty clear when you've entered particular path. The puzzles were mostly very simple. A couple were a bit frustrating, only had to find help once. The most annoying thing is there's one timed section (that's all I'll say but it's just bad). Sometimes it's not clear what you need to do and I wound up going down some gossipy path just trying to make progress which I had to try and steer back on track, which I wasn't a fan of. The characters are fairly dramatic but believable. The story was disappointing imho, like really predictable and not satisfying. Still, for the low price I got it for I was pretty entertained for about 5 hours. I'm curious to see what they will do with the concept and will certainly check out the sequels.
