I dont wanna be mean cause it looks nice but its just boring, i feel a young guy or team have made this judging by the voice acting. just wasnt for me, it has potential but i just got bored and it plays like a lot of other games. i hope this helps, im sure theyll get better and gamers will enjoy it if they like similar stuff

Terrible translation, nothing makes much sense, there are invisible walls everywhere, and the school is just plopped down in the middle of the wilderness. What? Save your money, or check out our play of the first half hour to decide for yourself: https://youtu.be/e1GyCcBHEwI

Its a good idea of a game but it is boring and unclear what the goal of the game is.

Great for a protoype! It's a little unpolished but I'm excited to see what the game turns into with more time. I think the price is very fair for this game. Really looking forward to what comes next!

SHAMEFUL!!! The developers have the audacity... To put a "prototype" up on Steam and ask for money. When you want people to play your prototype, you PAY THEM to do it. xD Not the other way around! Atleast "Early Access" promises you the full game if the devs ever finish the game... Here you still need to buy the released version. ':D It's a scam... That's the only thing to call it. I have NEVER.... EVER... in my years of being a game developer, heard the idea of a "Protoype Edition". It is ethically wrong on so many levels. Just to give a rough idea: Prototype (you pay others to game test) -------------------------------------------------Demo (free)---Full release (full price) I'm literally baffled that this exists... ':D I HOPE this doesn't become a trend hehe... THE GAME ITSELF Since the dev is actually CHARGING MONEY for a "prototype"... I will review this as an actual released product. Since that is WHAT IT IS when you charge money for it. It took me 20min to get the game started because everything fell apart when I tried changing the resolution. The games menu and settings are COMPLETELY busted and glitchy. Do NOT try and change the display settings. ':D Not to mention how the menu doesn't AT ALL respond the way it should. The game itself is hilariously, and obviously, a "asset flip" game. It feels like 100 different assets were thrown together, which didn't fit together. To the point where EVERYTHING from the UI to the environment, to the custom made assets, look WRONG visually. The game is also EXTREMELY un-optimized, and for the first time EVER... Have I experienced visuals glitches that I cannot explain the reasoning for... xD Whenever you turn your camera, or walk around, the assets will collapse in on each other. As if the game is just ONE more asset from completely breaking apart. Oh and did I mention the game breaking bug in chapter 2? Yup... You can't progress the story, since the interact feature doesn't work at one point. Not only that, there is NO guide telling you that when you see the "hand icon", it means you are supposed to "hold and drag". And because EVERYTHING is just "assets thrown together"... There is no red thread throughout the story. You literally have no idea what is going on. Not to mention the extremely broken English in the game. There were moments where I couldn't at all understand the "notes" that you had to read to get the story. The voice over sounds EXTREMELY muffled and bass'y, and you can't understand half of what is being said. Which is odd since at key moments when OTHER voice actors talk, it sounds fine if you overlook the differences in their audio volume. xD I have played MANY bad (and good) indie games over the years... But this... It's not only on the top 3 list of most broken/glitchy games I have ever tried... It also has the NERVE to charge money for it while advertising it as a "prototype"! Making it the WORST game I have EVER experienced. DON'T support this... ':D I usually NEVER refund a game simply because "it was bad". But in this case I am doing it in protest over the ethical decisions made by the devs...

El juedo cumple su promesa de dar MIEDO desde que abres el juego encuentras que no puedes modificar la sensibilidad, ni el audio, ni controles, creo que nada puedes modificar desde el principio... Desde ahi agarrate porque da miedo haber perdido $40 pesos que nunca volveran, mejor comprense 1 hershey, un bubalo, un tornillo sin pizza, skitles, maruchan, condon, gansito y una coca... Ponte a ver Netssssflisss

For the price this game is good! Some of the directions I felt were a little vague and there were some issues with invisible walls. But overall this game is good looking and pretty fun. Feel free to check out my game play below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtKe97seKhI
