Great game! I really appreciated the wide range of dialogue options—they really help you shape your character’s personality. + Nice cast of interesting characters!

Make no mistake, romance is the focus of this detective supernatural mystery. The overall plot feels like something you'd see on a CW show. But the characters are charming, the world is interesting enough and there's plenty to choose in this CYOA story.

I liked the game and story but the 440k words is very misleading. I'm guessing it's a combined count for all routes and choices, but it only took me about 4 hours to complete which I'm guessing means I read about 30k words? I was expecting to be able to take more time reading the story. I'd be interested in looking into other routes but I wished this was longer!

I enjoyed the game and am already on book three! This is concerning given that I started playing only four days ago. I am already thinking about what to do in another playthrough, and ahhhh yes, a big can of brainworms has been opened with this one. Anyways, I warmly recommend this game.
