« The voice acting is sublime. Transitions were smooth. Sure there were a few typos here and there but not enough to break the immersion for me. The story and many routes always kept me glued in. »

« L’enquête est trop facile et pas très intéressante, je n'ai eu qu'une mauvaise fin avant d'avoir la "bonne fin". Les fins alternatives n'avaient pas beaucoup d’intérêt et le jeu est trop court pour son prix. »

« 有玩過遠古的免費版本,感覺父親節局與印象中不同,連真相結局好像都完全不同了。 對於玩過早期版本的玩家來說真的是很驚喜。 劇情玩法到現在還是心中的經典,貨真價實的「文字冒險」 價格覺得不貴,畫風獨到,雖然不符合大眾審美,但若換個畫風感覺就不是滅魂了。 新的推理玩法也很有趣,雖然真相線還是靠攻略破關了(掩嘴笑) 希望下一款遊戲也能如期生出來啊,我等好久了~~~~ »
