Pitstop in Purgatory

¡Tbis is a great short Game!. The art is amazing. The writing is interesting and has a great pacing. The audio is perfect for the Game. Justo finished My first playthrough and I loved it. It's a simple visual nivel with an excelent story.

wherein recently-dead, hapless b movie actress astrid becomes a therapist to her fellow ghosties and is promptly caught in the machinations of two (2) immortal ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (48237958274982374 dead 3489276892479826598247324 injured) (likely with more to come in future installments...) in my personal opinion the 3 default routes needed more meat on their bones, and to be blunt the "thou [i]Mufte[/i] forgive in order to move on" trope featuring in locke's story is one of my least favorite things ever lmao i think it's a really unhealthy message to push....................... HOWEVER the visual presentation, audio direction, system elements etc are all extremely strong, and the writing shows a great deal of improvement in the secret route. i definitely plan to peek in on this team's future releases--both because i want the Scoop on the drama between bleach boy and madam theorem and because these devs show a lot of promise!

An enjoyable short visual novel experience. Music is a total bop! The inventory and item usage is nothing too fancy, but adds a extra degree of interaction from similar games. The overall plot is interesting, perhaps more of a concept art sketch of ideas and relationships than an in-depth exploration of anything, but certainly sketches out some very enjoyable twists and turns. The game approaches the concept of God in a manner that would likely feel problematic to someone who values their belief in an Abrahamic religion.

Woah this game! This visual novel really is something else! The story gives you insight of what passing through afterlife could be, if you cross that road to purgatory. It has five different routes that together brings more depth to the story. So playing all routes is a must in my opinion, it always gets better! The story is both sweet and easy to relate to with the dialogue between the characters. The impeccable writing brings a lot of emotions and it was hard to keep the tears away at some points. Both the art work and soundtrack is amazing and absolutely gives in to the unique style this novel gives. I would love to erase my memory so I could play this novel again! Will definitely recommend this game!

Очень понравилась игра, музыка на фоне отличная, рисовка приятная, но местами довольно грязная (очень не понравился арт [spoiler] парня Астрид [/spoiler], как будто в paint доделывали на коленке, что вполне возможно, если игра с какого то геймджема, честно - не интересовалась) за сюжетом очень интересно следить. Надеюсь игра и разработчик найдут достаточно большую аудиторию, что бы позволить себе не писать гайд по прохождению на itch, а доверят это дело фанатам :^) Хочу узнать продолжение этой истории...

It was a really fun, well made game but... I honestly don't like Astrid. I feel like she kinda sucked after learning her backstory (Vol didn't deserve that, ngl...) and just really couldn't sympathize with her. I was like "wow, what a ♥♥♥♥♥!" even as I really wanted to like her. I also didn't find the romances very compelling; the characters are all interesting, but I just wasn't really feeling the chemistry/attraction? That said, I found the worldbuilding to be fantastic. I was really intrigued by how things are, and sooooo curious about the Guide and how things really worked. I think the Guide ending was really my fave (and I think he was the only one that really worked with Astrid... they still kiiinda lacked chemistry, but they definitely feel like a good match for each other, better than the others, even). All in all, I just didn't like Astrid, but I realllllly liked this game! The puzzles were also incredibly fun, and engaging without being too hard. It really solidified my love for point-and-click games, and it's one I keep thinking about too. I'm really excited for the next game in the series to release!!! This game is definitely worth it; it's a damn good game even if Astrid does suck a little (and who knows, you might like her more than me; I think she's annoying and was really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to a perfectly good boyfriend, but those are realistic character flaws to have).
