What the community wishes

We analysed the 12 most impactful community reviews and collected 68 ideas and suggestions on how the game could be better.
More Rewarding Quests
I would love to see more rewarding and challenging quests that give a sense of accomplishment. Having a clear goal and working towards it keeps me engaged and motivated.
Diverse Map Environments
I would suggest adding more diverse environments to the maps, such as snowed cities, underwater ruins, or even futuristic cities. This would give players a fresh experience and keep things interesting.
Character Customization
It would be great to have more character customization options, such as different outfits, accessories, or even tattoo options. This would allow players to express themselves and make their characters unique.
More NPCs to Interact With
I think it would be cool to have more non-playable characters (NPCs) that players can interact with, such as having conversations, trading items, or even helping each other out.
Better Enemy Variety
I would recommend having more variety in enemy types and abilities. This would make combat more challenging and unpredictable, keeping players on their toes.
Tutorials for New Players
I think it's important to have beginner-friendly tutorials or guides for new players to help them get started. This would reduce the learning curve and make the game more accessible.
More Character Development
I would have liked to see more character development, especially for the secondary characters, to make the experience more engaging and emotional.
More Clues
Adding more clues and hints throughout the game would have made the experience more thrilling and challenging.
Improve the Pacing
The game's pacing could be improved by balancing the slow and fast-paced moments better, making the experience more consistent and engaging.
More Ways to Progress
Introducing more ways to progress through the game, such as puzzles or mini-games, would have added variety to the experience.
Better Screen Resolution
The screen resolution could be improved for a smoother and more immersive experience.
More Realistic Sound Effects

More Storyline Branching
The game's storyline could be improved by introducing more branching paths, allowing for a more dynamic and replayable experience.

Improve Gameplay Mechanics
I think the gameplay mechanics could be improved by adding more complexity and depth to the game's system.
More Menus
I would like to see more menus in the game, it's currently too simple and lacks depth.
Online Multiplayer
Adding online multiplayer would make the game more engaging and interactive.
More Playtime Needed
I didn't feel like I could fully understand the game's mechanics and features without playing it for a longer time.
Update Inclusions and Exclusions Clear
I was confused about what was included and excluded in the game, some clear notes would be helpful.
Gameplay Balancing
Some parts of the gameplay felt imbalanced, I faced difficulties in certain sections and it wasn't fun.
Story Expansion
I felt like the story was a bit shallow, adding some more depth and complexity could enhance the game.
Harsher Difficulty
I found some difficulty levels to be too easy, I'd recommend adding more challenging levels to increase the overall difficulty
More Choices

Clearer Story
I had trouble understanding the story and its significance, I'd recommend adding more context or clues throughout the game
Better Player Feedback

More Playable Times
I enjoyed the game, but I felt like I didn't have enough opportunities to play it, I'd recommend adding more replay value
More complex plot
I think the plot is too simple, it needs more twists and turns to make it more engaging and thrilling.
Improve character development
I didn't feel connected to the characters, their development was lacking and I didn't care about their fate.
Enhance horror elements
The horror elements were not scary enough, more jump scares and creepy sounds could have made it more terrifying.
New game mechanics
The mechanics were too familiar and didn't bring anything new to the table, I would love to see some innovative game design.
More attention to graphics
The graphics were decent but not outstanding, I would love to see more attention to detail and a more polished visual style.
Longer gameplay
The game was too short, I wish it had a longer gameplay experience with more levels and challenges.
Improve sound design
The sound effects and music were not memorable, I would love to see more effort put into creating an immersive audio experience.
More enemy variety
The enemies were too repetitive and didn't provide a sense of challenge, more variety could have made the game more exciting.
Better storytelling
The story was predictable and lacked emotional depth, I would love to see a more engaging and emotional narrative.
More puzzles to solve
The puzzles were too few and too easy, I would love to see more complex and challenging puzzles to solve.
Improve UI and UX
The UI and UX were confusing and cluttered, I would love to see a more intuitive and user-friendly interface.
More exploration
The game didn't encourage exploration, I would love to see more hidden secrets and areas to discover.
Better difficulty progression
The difficulty progression was too abrupt, I would love to see a more gradual and fair increase in difficulty.
More boss battles
The boss battles were few and too easy, I would love to see more epic and challenging boss battles.
Improve replay value
The game didn't have much replay value, I would love to see more features that would encourage replaying the game.
Better Storyline
I felt lost and confused throughout the story. I think a more structured narrative would improve the game's overall experience.
More Realistic Expectations
I went in with unrealistic expectations and was disappointed. I think game developers should set more realistic expectations for players.
Show, Don't Tell
I felt like the game was telling me what to do instead of showing me. I think more interactive elements would be more engaging.
More Player Agency
I felt like my choices didn't matter in the game. I think giving players more agency in the story would make the game more immersive.
Improve Character Development
The characters felt flat and one-dimensional. I think more backstory and character development would make the game more relatable.
Gameplay Variety
The gameplay felt repetitive and shallow. I think adding more variety to the gameplay mechanics would keep players engaged.
Less Stigma Around Mental Health
I felt like the game was perpetuating harmful stigmas around mental health. I think game developers should strive to promote more realistic and compassionate portrayals.
More Yuri
I would have loved to see more of Yuri, her story and character development.
Introduction to VNs
This game could have been better at introducing me to the concept of Visual Novels.
Improve Storyline
I felt traumatized by the scene I saw, it would be better if the storyline was more balanced and not so intense
Character Deletion
It's frustrating that I had to delete all my characters, a feature to save or transfer progress would be appreciated
Add a Warning
A warning or a notice about the intense or disturbing content would help players prepare and avoid the traumatic experience I had
Balance Gameplay
The gameplay was too intense and not fun, a more balanced experience would be enjoyable
More Character Customization
It would be great to have more character customization options, this would add replay value and make the game more engaging
More Diamond Ore
I want more diamond ore to be generated in the world, making it more challenging to gather and adding more excitement to building
Useable Wood Block
A wood block should be useable in the game, like a crafting material, to make building and crafting more interesting
Improve Graphics
The graphics in the game are poor and need to be improved to make it look more realistic. The character designs are also lacking, and more detail could be added to make them look more engaging.
Add More Levels
The game is too short, and I think adding more levels would make it more engaging and challenging. This would also give players a sense of accomplishment once they complete all of the levels.
Better Character Development
The characters in the game are not very well developed, and I think adding more back story and personality to them would make the game more interesting. This could be done through dialogue or even cutscenes.
More Realistic Physics
The physics in the game are not very realistic, and I think making them more realistic would make the game more immersive. This could be done by making the characters' movements and interactions more lifelike.
Add More Variety to Enemies
The enemies in the game are very similar and lack variety. I think adding more different types of enemies would make the game more challenging and exciting.
Improve Enemy AI
The enemy AI in the game is not very good, and I think making it more intelligent would make the game more challenging. This could be done by making the enemies react differently to different situations.
Add More Items to Craft
The crafting system in the game is very limited, and I think adding more items to craft would make it more engaging. This could be done by adding new materials or recipes.
Improve Game Controls
The game controls are not very responsive, and I think making them more responsive would make the game more enjoyable. This could be done by tweaking the movement and jumping mechanics.

Negative

Есть такой поджанр новелл, который называется "Дэнпа". Он представляет собой с первого взгляда милую и добрую новеллу, которая по итогу перетекает в хоррор. Поскольку идея довольно распространенная, в них большой упор ставится на проработку сюжет и хоррорной части. Но поскольку новеллы - сам по себе ноунеймовый жанр видеоигр, ничто не помешало Дэну Сальвато выдать максимально примитивный продукт в этом жанре и расхайпиться в кругу нормисов.

  • Sentiments

    • The game seems to have a nice and cute novel at first, but it turns out to be a horror.
    • The idea is quite common, but the game focuses on developing the story and horror parts.
    • The developer seems to have released a very basic product in this genre.
    • The game fails to impress in its usual ways.

Negative

This fuckin hurt. I did not know what I had signed up for. I was just some lonely guy lookin to get some relief ya know, but no matter what you do the inevitable end hits like a damn dump truck. Started so innocent and awesome but so quickly turned into a living hell that is unfortunately all too common in real life. Don't kill yourself; It's not worth it.

  • Sentiments

    • The game is emotionally draining and hurtful.
    • I'm disappointed with the game's outcome.
    • The game started off well, but took a dark turn.
    • The player feels trapped and helpless.
    • The game is relatable to real-life struggles.

Negative

  • Sentiments

    • The game has a traumatic effect on the player

Negative

Gusto culposo. Por lo menos me sirvió para más o menos introducirme a las VNs, supongo. Ah, y Yuri besto girl, obvio.

  • Sentiments

    • I'm not very impressed with this game, it didn't help me too much to introduce myself to VNs.
    • At least it introduced me to VNs, I suppose.
    • I love Yuri, she's the best girl, of course.
