Story

214 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Each character has their own motivations and the events through different eyes make the story feel fresh each time.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The core gameplay premise is really clever, and not something I've seen before: you choose how the "maiden", "underling", and "overlord" characters act in advance, and then make decisions as the "hero", which then unlock new "hero" actions to set in advance while you play as the next character.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also, the amazing art style, the characters, and the great soundtrack create an atmosphere that’s both cute and surprisingly emotional.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack complements this aesthetic beautifully—light, atmospheric tunes give way to somber melodies as stories spiral toward their inevitable conclusions.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's so many different ways that each character can react that can move time to divert differently.
