Gnosia is a curious case for me. I first played it on a friend’s recommendation, on a different platform at the time, and I enjoyed it a lot. The characters are distinctive, the atmosphere is strong, and the setting and worldbuilding are genuinely charming. I wasn’t (and still aren't) especially good at the gameplay, but it was fun enough. When I finished the story, I put it down and moved on — except that part of me kept returning to it in my thoughts from time to time. Then the anime was announced and it put me in the mood to replay the game. Somehow, my affection for the game and its characters has grown even stronger. What was once simply fun gameplay has now become rather addictive. I’m writing all this to say that Gnosia is a unique experience that stays with you. It isn’t big or flashy (though the character designs certainly are), and it may not hook you immediately, but it has a way of quietly wiggling its way into your heart. The more time you spend with the characters, the world and the gameplay, the more you come to appreciate them. The writing is deceptively sharp. The characters feel archetypal at first, but over time their nuance and small details begin to surface. The plot may seem simple (and it certainly isn’t anything groundbreaking) but as you progress and start piecing everything together, you realize it’s a thoughtfully constructed story. The struggles you endure across the loops make reaching the true ending all the more rewarding. There’s also a strong undercurrent of melancholy running through the game due to the knowledge you carry that others don’t. You get to see different sides of each character, and some moments honestly brought me to tears. And then it was all undone. You meet again, start over and you’re the only one who remembers. You’ll find yourself thinking about certain characters, wondering how things might have unfolded if the world never reset... As for the gameplay itself, it’s genuinely impressive. Dialogue does, unfortunately, become repetitive at times as there is only so much manually written lines a game like this can have. But you learn to look past that and focus on what the characters are saying rather than how they say it. There’s an incredible variety of scenarios that can unfold thanks to the different skills, abilities and personality each character has. On top of that, the game tracks many hidden values such as Hate, Trust, Amicability, and some other specific hidden abilities, that shape how characters behave towards you and towards one another. These things also affect the way characters behave when they have (or not have) specific roles. Some loops can feel repetitive, I won't lie; especially when you’re trying to unlock specific events under very particular conditions and keep failing, yet even after 200+ loops, you can still encounter new scenarios due to the way all the different systems and values interact with each other. That’s a big part of what makes the gameplay loop (hehe) so addictive. By the end, Gnosia leaves you with the sense that you didn’t just finish a story; you shared time with a group of real characters, all unique and interesting (Raqio best character though). The amount of love and passion that Petit Depotto has poured into the game is truly felt, from beginning to the end. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) .✦ ݁˖

After watching the anime about this game, I decided to give it a try. I really liked it. I recommend it and will play it through. By the way, I also recommend watching the anime.

TL;DR: Play this if you are a fan of visual novels with a timeloop story focusing on time travel, alternate universes, etc. For me, Gnosia is on the tier of visual novels that will have you thinking about it long after you've finished, it was a genuinely special experience. To describe it: it's a single player version of social deduction games like Werewolf/Mafia/Among Us, where one or more members of the crew become infected as the Gnosia, and you have to decide and vote for which person it is. The game is structured around loops, and with each loop everything resets, so somebody else becomes Gnosia and so on. The more loops you play, the more of the story is revealed, and the more you'll find out about why everyone is stuck in this spaceship being made to play this game. There are some pretty mindblowing revelations later on, but I just love how this was structured - you never know when you'll come across an event that reveals more about the crew members. Each loop gives you XP to level up and learn new skills (some are pretty overpowered). Don't be alarmed if it's too overwhelming at first and you find yourself getting voted out all the time, just keep playing through the loops until you level up enough times. I became pretty overpowered and it was really fun being able to manipulate everyone to vote for the person I want out. To complete the game, you'll need to acquire every note for every character, and to do so you'll need to view an "event" which is basically a unique character-specific cutscene. To access these events, you'll need to achieve a specific criteria during a loop. It's quite confusing at first, and there may be times where it feels like nothing is happening (use this time to level up), but once you unlock the "Event Search" feature, it becomes much easier as the game gives you a set of criteria that will point you in the right direction to access these events. It'll take you about 15-20 hours to complete this depending on how long it takes you to acquire the notes (some are more difficult to obtain than others, feel free to use the Wiki guide if you feel lost). The soundtrack is a m a z i n g, especially the main theme "Call of Ender" which gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it - at that point I knew I was in for something special. I listen to it regularly while I'm travelling or working, and I just wish the soundtrack was added to Spotify. I'm aware the anime adaption for Gnosia released about 4 weeks ago as of this review. So far, I'm really impressed - the artstyle and animation is at a much higher budget than I expected, the soundtrack does a good job of remixing the in-game music. With that being said, I still do highly recommend playing the visual novel, there's just something about it that's captivating. But yeah, Gnosia is a special game for me and I wish I could experience it again for the first time.

A good substitute for mafia/werewolf if you don't have enough friends to play like me haha. I thoroughly enjoyed the game-play, I also liked how the main story line was incorporated into the loops themselves. The only con I'd say is the difficulty decreases as the game progresses as your abilities starts power-creeping, and the logic behind how to play the game soon becomes apparent, causing the game to become easier as it goes. But the game isn't super long and can be finished pretty quick, so overall I really had a fun time playing and recommended it to my friends who enjoys puzzle solving and mystery games.

I bought this game assuming it would be a killing/mystery game visual novel, like Zero Escape or Danganronpa, but I quickly realized this is something entirely new. The game is a lot like mafia/werewolf (or Among Us, if you prefer), but with a million hidden secrets waiting inside each gameplay loop. The art is gorgeous, the setting is unique and fun, and the characters have a lot of hidden depth, which creates an addicting game experience overall. I feel like I blinked and was 80 loops in.
