Certainly an interesting story, although it feels too short in comparison to the plot it's trying to tell. The art is quite unique and the music is fitting, the protagonist is nicely designed and the dialogue options are amusing. Although it seems like there's one dialogue option at the start when you first talk to the escape artist; that seems to stick and not advance properly unless you just click on all three dialogue options. The story is pretty generic but is still genuine in its intentions, the writing is strong but is not brought to its full potential due to how short the game is. The whole story is very abrupt and feels like an abridged version of a relatively typical animated movie. The plot just doesn't fit well into this small a time frame. The entire sequence about logic and fallacy doesn't make much sense considering it doesn't truly have anything to do with the story, it seems to be artificially injected in for the sake of trying to teach the player some kind of lesson. Overall while it was a nice little experience, it definitely is rough around the edges in the way it tells a generic magician story in a half hour; with this strange inclusion of a lesson on critical thinking. Would of much rather paid for a larger scale story that has been fully fleshed out and fits into itself, then this very confined and uncertain short story. Still interesting though to be sure, just this same concept would have been much more interesting and more natural in a larger format.

Cute art, nicely chosen music, can't comment on the story too much yet, it seems to have multiple endings. Only things that bug me are the volume of the sound effects at certain times, compared to the volume of the music they startled me a few times. Also it some UI bugs like the font being too big in the "text history" window or in the options menu but nothing really game breaking. For that price it's a nice little game.

I love this, just wished I could see what happened next. Its not a sudden ending but I like these characters. Around 30 minutes of playtime would seem to be a turn off at any price. In my opinion its well worth the price for what it is.

I really liked all of the art and music, the overall messages about skepticism and truth were really positive and refreshing. It's a pretty quick play through, so I'd be psyched about a continuation some time, but as it is it's a really charming and enjoyable story to experience and totally worth it. I've already gifted a few copies to people I thought would enjoy it.

A very quick, and enjoyable story. The graphics are very charming, and the piano music sets the tone very well. If you're into visual novels, this is worth checking out.

A very short, but amusing game with talent put in it. A roleplaying visual novel based in choice which choices do matter. Pros: Great Writing Choices Matter interesting characters Fun choices, especially in correcting people on belief and problems Multiple Endings Good music Good Art Con: Very short, but if you’re playing multiple playthroughs you might actually reach equal price ratio, though who cares on a few bucks for fun way less than you’d spend on a movie of the same length.

Equivoque puts you in the shoes of a bunny named Bundt, an apprentice at a magician's shop who gets approached by a world famous magician to help disprove the act of a charlatan medium. The music and art do great work to sell the charming world, and I thought the writing and story. There's a bit of choices to make as you learn more about these characters and apply a skeptical mind to the situation, with a few different endings to explore. Overall, it's well worth the cost for a short, quirky lil' visual novel with a lot of heart.

Short (~30 min.), cute story with a unique art style and some interesting dialogue-based gameplay. Feels more like a proof of concept that would be better suited for a freeware game -- I'm not just talking about the length, but the sense that the characters, concepts, and themes introduced could be developed into a more substantial visual novel -- but I'd still recommend it if you're interested in experimental VNs.

Equivoque has extremely charming characters, awesome, stylish art, funny dialogue and a moving story with a great message about skepticism. If you're into visual novels even a little bit, you should absolutely play this Equivoque now! :D (Full disclosure: I wrote the soundtrack to this game, which I hope you enjoy!)

Very amusing storyline and cute graphics. It was quite a quick game but it had some cool options and some funny dialouge which made it very enjoyable. Will be playing again to see the other endings for sure.
