👍 Strengths

133 reviews praise the writing and story, and some say it treats love, desire and growing up with rare honesty and emotional depth.

👎 Where it falls short

Complaints are few. 6 reviews say parts are confusing to learn, and some mention obtuse moments where they did not know what to do next or felt lost in large blocks of text. 3 wish for more freedom, with a few saying the story limits their choices. 3 raise control and interface points, such as a missing hotspot system that makes interactive objects hard to see.
