Despite an interesting premise, the game might be hard to follow due to translation and making right choices.
Writing about the technological features would be meaningless because the game is built on a visual novel engine, which powers the bulk of titles in this genre. Its key features include the ability to save at any moment and skip content, including text that has yet to be read.
The first challenge lies in finding the settings menu to switch to English. Since the game’s original language is Russian, you have no option but to listen to Russian voices. But while this adds to the charm, the translation is not ideal. It feels overly literal, making the sentences appear awkward and occasionally weird. It doesn’t hinder the gameplay, but you’ll miss a lot of what the plot is trying to present.
Aside from the game's unusual visual style, which resembles a painting, it also offers an intriguing story. It takes place in a theater where a lunatic is constructing a universe depending on your decisions. You have a few choices, and more become available if you make mistakes or lead the world to disaster.
This also means you don't have much impact over the story because taking the wrong path merely leads back to the original choice. The other issue is that you must make the appropriate decisions to advance the story. Finding the appropriate path can be tough because you have a lot of options.
Unfortunately, there are some issues. Most of it involves error message that shows up in certain paths. Although it can be fixed by clicking on “ignore” option, it still doesn’t look great. Also, there’s at least one path that gave me an error about a missing image. None of this breaks the game.
