Two genres I dislike somehow combined into a good game. Proven wrong again. One big leg up over most visual novels is the option for fast text. The main reason I clock out of most visual novels after a few minutes is the intolerable little dribbles of text slowly rolling across the screen. I just don't have the patience for that.
This has a few redeeming qualities though. The puzzles are good, the writing is not bad, the art is nice. Some puzzles and conversations are bugged and have to be fiddled with or repeated a few times to function. But nothing game-breaking.
What has finally made me tap out of the game before completing are the timed puzzles. Who wants timed puzzles in a game like this?? Partway through act 3 they annoyed me enough to stop playing. A shame, this would a have been a very chill game without them.
