it's a solid 5.5/10 but you will have fun i don't really play visual novels to be honest but this one took my interest somehow. background secrets, characters and their developments were fun to engage with. it needs some more foreshadowing on the upcoming events. minigames were fun but them not having any actual effect was a downer. i don't know why we can't progress with the characters as we please or at least plan our playstyle around the neccesary events like going to classes and home etc. dialogues were very restrictive and not clear. it could've been so much better.

Departed Away is a short visual novel, with lovely pixel art and good OST. Plot is quite interesting and leave you wanting to know more about the characters, the negative point is that you dont have skip button so when you make a rerun you will grew a little bit bored.

This game really surprised me, especially as it is the developers first visual novel. The art is beautiful, the characters are well written and the story writing is absolutely top tier. Its one of, if not the best visual novel I've ever played. There's allot of story to uncover in this game and that's why you have to play it through multiple times to find the whole truth and solve mysteries from other play through's. But in the end, its 100% worth it. This game is a 10/10 I highly recommend giving it a try. Its truly a hidden gem.

"Departed Away" is one of those visual novels that makes it hard to rate them as good or bad. The game's aesthetic is simple yet detailed, and it pops so much more than most games of this genre. The music in it, too, fits perfectly with the vibe the game gives off. It's one of those stories that begins quite interesting but slowly becomes relatively predictable. Such ideas have already been used in many games, and this one brings nothing new. At times, the writing feels pretty immature, especially at the beginning, and there are quite some spelling mistakes. Besides, the game throws too many references to other games and shows, which can be distracting. The most drastic problem is the "endgame" that goes by a rush. It would be much better if the game spent a few minutes to wind up the plot accordingly. It is also regrettable that with such a big focus on the characters, there are no special endings for each. There is no button to skip the dialogue that was already read – this makes it a hassle when going over the game again. Here, you will make choices in the game, influencing the story. There are also some mini-games, but pressing "enter" every few seconds to continue through the story can get old fast and prevent one from seeing everything the game has to offer. "Departed Away" still has a good deal of credit for the thematic exploration of mental illness and its promise, through some rather good character introductions. Characters like Marcel and the dynamic of the Loretta/father storyline add depth, though these aspects need to be further developed and given more playtime to resonate. Despite a few missteps, though, there are enough things that "Departed Away" gets right in terms of art and initial character pull that this would be worth looking at. The potential here, combined with the charm currently on display, makes one think that added content and increased polish might further pull this into something far more engaging. Overall, I really enjoyed playing this visual novel.
