This almost literally put me to sleep at one point. “Sleep” is a big part of the game, so maybe the creator would be happy to hear that, I don't know.

I found this visual novel pretty boring. In the moment, I never felt like any choices presented really mattered and none of them gripped me. In the end, seeing the culmination of my unenthusiastic choices, I continued to be unfazed by it all. I wasn't thrilled to see I'd unlocked one of about two dozen different endings. I definitely didn't care enough to find more.

The story never gripped me, but I found this game's sense of style to be pretty good, in both writing and art design. Honestly, the atmosphere was probably the only reason I persevered to the end of this, though a playthrough won't even take you an hour.

Will you care more about Candelaria more than I did? Maybe, but I doubt it. I think this one can be avoided.
