This one's a complicated one.
I absoluetly enjoyed the experience of this game, discovering its various secrets of it, connecting the string of the story made for a very engaging game for me. Some of my favorite moments were discovering the locations, but can't say more than that hehe.

It comes with one of the best twist during the game i've experienced in a long while, the surprise really stuck with me, also the voice acting? oh my gosh its lovely, the people did a wonderful job.
One thing that deserves mention is, without revealing too much, there is an optional thing you can do in the game that involves some rather gruesome moments, the game gently lets you know, that this is is about to happen and that you can avoid it. You absolutely can and everything is designed in mind for skipping this part of the game.

Now what about the story? I would say, its ok. Its not the best thing ive ever experienced but also not the worst, its a lil bit hit and miss but overall i would say things works fine.
Some of the problems i have with the story is a general problem most people run into when making a story game where the protagonist is the player and has to choose very specific dialogue to get to a perfect ending. And given the behind the scene of the game, the creator and the fact its an indie, i can totally understand how it has happened. At least to me knowing about the creator and how the art came to be for most work as it provides additional context sometimes.
The other major thing that may put people off is the ending, in my opinion, it just barely works, it makes sense, its a touchy subject to handle, but ive pondered long about it find it, an resolution that works.
With that said its very much a game that will hit differently with everyone. and thats fine.

I had a good time with this game, Gallerius got me when no one else got me, exploring this world was a blast.
