This game is pointless, you don't learn anything from this game like most [GENRE] game. Imagine you going into the game and got lucky and managed to survive for maybe 20 min and out of a sudden, you died... you just lost your 20 min for nothing. Primarily, I would say the concept of winning in this game is very vague, only one player gets to win and what the rest is going to do. The point of this game is like going in and die. A really stupid game honestly.

I just can’t enjoy this game and I can’t understand how anyone can call this a masterpiece. There is no gameplay at all, Its just walking from one point to another. The turned based combat is super boring. This is not even a game, its more like a anime in which you control your character to walk from point A to point B. If pressing button to skip to next line of conversation your thing then this is the game for you. I personally feel like I wasted my money.
