👍 Strengths

135 reviews praise the story as engaging and well written, and some say its deeper meaning only comes together across multiple endings. Story & World ranks 440th of 1096. 122 praise the atmosphere and sound design, with fog and darkness creating constant tension. 81 admire the visuals, and some single out the blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics with nightmarish floral growth. Visuals & Sound ranks 165th of 1249.

👎 Where it falls short

Gameplay ranks 1317th of 1396. 111 reviews describe combat that feels floaty, clunky or slow, and some add a poor camera and dodges that do not protect you. 61 have trouble with the difficulty, with some calling hard mode unfair and others saying combat becomes trivial once learned. 36 find it repetitive, and some point to the same enemies returning and the need to replay the story for its endings. Content Volume ranks 804th of 1351, and Pricing & Fairness ranks 1078th of 1399.
