worthwhile

This gem is a true labor of love. Spend the several dollars to get rid of ads, it is well deserved. And considering it costs less than what you would tip on a meal out, it’s obviously worth it. Took me a few months to get all endings. Still haven’t read the last book. Quite an experience for something so minimalistic. Good way to pass time and surprisingly immersive too. And not a bad real-life reading list. I’d never heard of free verse haiku before, and I am glad I did.

私にとってゲームを、通した新たな体験だった。

詳しく説明しきる事は私には難しいですが、シナリオとセリフに対するゲームシステムや世界観がとてもよくマッチしていたと思います。グラフィックやシステムが最新のゲームより劣っているとは言え、ゲームの根幹的な面白さは単なる目新しさだけではないと言うのを感じられる作品でした。

Worse Than I Remembered

It could be a fun game. Interesting plot, fun personality tests, cute cookie clicker, and eerie music. Getting all the endings when you have all the time in the world and are desensitized to dark sentiments is all fine and good. But the progression is hellishly slow, so on the way to the endings, it can somewhat brainwash you into a darker place full of pessimistic thoughts. The books recommended are all very depressing, relating to things like depression and ostracization and suicide. Not necessarily devoid of meaning, but heavy in a way that warrants warning. You can’t really distance yourself much from the game since it takes so much time waiting for excerpts to pop up while flipping through the books and clicking through those sentences. You can play around with it a little if you’re in the sweet spot of desensitized but not vulnerable, maybe give it a dedicated week to reach at least one ending. But otherwise, just watch a playthrough and skip this one. Please.

Doesn’t describe me

I gave two attempts and neither one of them described me. The first one said I frown upon those with similar flaws to me and the other suggested that I come across as aggressive to hide my anxiety. Neither one of those are true. I am a very sensitive person and don’t want to hurt anyone because hurting people in the past brought more pain to me than it ever did to them. I am only giving you a second star because the art was beautiful

Bad personality test

This game gives very genetic answers to the quizzes that are not verry useful, the characters are mostly one faced and it spins almost every thing to be negative in some way, this game is better as a reading list than a story or quiz

Great Game

I’ve played this game for awhile now and honestly it’s an awesome game. The graphics, designs, music and gameplay are great, and the story is intriguing too. My only issue is that it’s a little long to continue each chapter but other than that it’s fine.

★★★☆☆ Canada · v3.10.2 · 31 Jan 2025

Nothing is Happening

I was really interested at first and was wanting to continue playing the game but it forces you to stop and collect ego. It takes forever to collect ego and is not even fun to do so. You’re just tapping your screen for a very long time until you can progress in the story and have a 3 minute conversation, the effort to progress in the story is imbalanced. I understand this is a free game and there will be a time wall so that players don’t progress to fast. But the progression is so abysmally slow that it loses the player’s interest to continue playing the game.

Truly gorgeous game; i loved the progression of ES’s character, even if i had to go through two routes for the secret ending. An utterly amazing sound design too, loved the piano.

Brilliant game!

It’s such a unique game idea, the music and art is so lovely. The how ES pulls on your heart strings and how the game tells you (well it has told me) some pretty damn accurate things about myself that I didn’t even realise! Made me think about a lot, it’s so beautifully executed! 💕💕

Game won’t Save

I was halfway through the game this morning, I left the app for like 10 minutes and when I came back all my progress was gone. It restarted for some reason, and the best excuse I can come up with is that it has something to do with my storage. Please fix this, I was almost finished with my first ending.

Incredible Game

I love the story of this game, and the personality quizzes genuinely make me consider things about myself that I haven't thought of before, I'm recommending it to all my friends. I come back to this game every few years, and I replay it from the start. Although I know the story by heart, it's still incredibly comforting each time. It's a wonderful game that's very close to my heart

★★★☆☆ Philippines · v2.11.0 · 3 Jun 2020

Not bad

I think the premise was cute. The tests were kinda cute, too. Not really terribly revealing though. The accuracy of the results are MBTI-level, which means that it’s better if you don’t take it too seriously. But I enjoyed it for what it is— a game. And as a game, it was a bit boring, a bit repetitive, and just a bit unoriginal. Why do game-developers (especially Japanese ones) like extremes? And crazy characters? Part of why Es is sometimes unrelatable is because she is so cartoonish. You know, exaggerated. Her existential crisis is a bit campy. Oh well. At least I can finally put this on my list of finished games. I enjoyed the soundtrack and the book passages though.

★★★★☆ United Kingdom · v3.6.5 · 23 Sept 2021

One Issue

EGO is really annoying to gather since each level it gets harder due to the amount you are stated to achieve, it detracts a considerable amount — I am just saying it shouldn’t take so long or the amount required to progress through the story should be lowered. Character wise, ES; I love her! (I do be a simp :0). She’s really interesting and I’m always exited to progress and get a chance to listen to her. The overall game is enjoyable — the psychology, philosophy and sociology is truly entrancing for a genre of a ‘clicker’, function wise. I really recommend giving this game a chance.

it was p dang great

Story: 5/5 Game play: 3/5 the only reason I’ve given it a four is just cause it’s an idle game and they’re not my fav. Other than that though wow, the story was some high tier stuff and the character design. The story aspect of the game was well thought out and I honestly loved the thoughtfulness of the game and commentary on society and everything in general. It subtly guides the player along some of the different ways people perceive life and while there’s a ‘good’ ending and ‘bad’ ending, it’s sort of open enough to not be so straightforwardly criticising harshly, except for one and that’s criticism that I personally agreed w so I didn’t think it was bad lol.
