So disappointed — a visual novel
Yeah one of the biggest let downs of the year. I absolutely loved the devs first game Abscission, and was so excited for this one. Only to find it’s basically all dialogue, and really dry dialogue at that.
The only puzzles present are so stupidly simple and rare. And that’s only a reward for wading through 20 minutes of dry, historical dialogue. So yeah, it’s nothing like the devs first horror detective game.
Do not buy the idea that it’s anything like Excavation of Hobs Burrow, which was an incredible folk horror point and click with a perfect balance of puzzles and narrative. This is borderline a scam to label it anything other than a visual novel.
