What players love

What players love

Players praise the story above everything else: what starts as a typing game in a restaurant unravels into a melodrama of interlinked characters that reviewers say has no right to go as hard as it does. They call the difficulty well scaled, from speed to accuracy, and say hitting a flow state feels like working a busy line. Art, music and new minigames keep them playing to the last achievement.
