Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
48 of 99 sampled reviews raised it
The game hasn't aged particularly well, and the shoddy translation job doesn't do it any favours, but there is a decent story here, and for a seasoned reader of visual novels, there can be quite a bit of fun in recognising tropes and character archetypes that likely inspired beloved characters from other franchises.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
17 of 99 sampled reviews raised it
The first act - which has branching timelines, uses the save/load mechanic as a narrative tool, and lets the player collect and use items to alter outcomes - is legitimately pretty cool.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 99 sampled reviews raised it
Music plays a crucial role in reinforcing emotional beats, and the soundtrack effectively supports both quiet introspective moments and dramatic revelations.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 99 sampled reviews raised it
The art style did change and this might annoy people that played the 1995 version first but to me who didn't know about that version, I really appreciate the current art style which is beautiful.
