Full of heart and love, which is a strange thing to say about such a grim story! I can really tell there's a passion for this game, especially all of its characters; they all feel very real, even while our protagonist knows so little about them. The position of anchoress is such a fascinating one to write from, and it could go very wrong, but I feel like xeecee has accounted for all the little intricacies of the role. There is an attention to detail the likes of which I've rarely ever seen. Our protagonist is believable, infinitely flawed, and thrust into a world she can't begin to comprehend - and every action she takes reflects this.

I'm not truly a mystery person, and I'm very bad at picking up on clues and such, but I suspect there isn't much to say about that in Volume One. The waters are muddied; if you're expecting some clarity, you won't get it here. Nevertheless I enjoyed theorising with every new bit of evidence, especially alongside the community members I've met. There are so many questions left unanswered, and I really cannot wait for the next volume.

Thoroughly enjoyable - humorous, emotional and mysterious in equal measures. Such lovable characters too, I'm going to miss them until the next instalment comes! <3
