The Good
I found its unique gameplayâplayers as Grim Reapers, making life-and-death choices based on diverse criteria, revitalizing simulation, to be a fun a fresh experience. You'll be making profound decisions and get caught in moral dilemmas; both where choices carry narrative weight. I enjoyed the hand-drawn art and atmospheric soundtrack me. Great writingâhumorous, witty, thought-provokingâenriched interactions. Despite light-hearted surface, game delved into emotional, philosophical themes. Works well for short play sessions as the game itself isn't very long and begs to be replayed for different results.
Top/best qualities:
- Unique Gameplay Concept
- Meaningful Choices
- Art Style and Atmosphere
- Narrative Depth
- Replayability
- Accessibility
- Engaging Writing
- Low Barrier to Entry
- Emotional Impact
- Short Play Sessions
The Bad
In my first 3.5 hours of gameplay, I replayed the entire game many times. This was to see different outcomes and to obtain various achievements (both of which I highly recommend). Had I not done this, it would have seemed very light in content. If you can deal with all of that, then you've got a fine game with a lot of charm and good humor.
Bottom/worst qualities:
- Repetitive Gameplay
- Shallow Gameplay
- Narrative Predictability
- Lack of Clear Impact
- Expected to Replay
- Pacing Issues
The Bottom Line
A worthwhile experience but come with the expectation that you will need to play it through several times in order to squeeze it for the content that it holds.
