This review contains spoilers

The pacing was good, until 2 thirds through. Then it felt rushed, character relationships unresolved, the choices didn’t seem to have as much impact as I was hoping and the last third felt very rushed. I related to Sarah, and her relationship with her sister. The story tried to do too much at once without doing anything at all. I tried to make Sarah’s relationship with her bf seem unfulfilling but it still turns out well for them. She made up with her sister, Maddie, in the weak epilogue. And the whole cult thing with her mother got brushed under the rug. Also, when her boyfriend was sending over his music files, he also gave her a virus. I thought something would of come of that, but nothing did.

I loved the story, art style and how clever the puzzles are made very much!
