    Unique setting, great soundtrack, unusual graphic design, interesting mechanics, fun gameplay - all in one game. I'm not gonna lie and say that everything's perfect - it's not, but it's close, with the only real issue being the controls. These could definitely use some optimization. However, that said, it did not stop me from spending over 40 hours with the game so far and I can only recommend it.

    Pretty fun game overall. The artstyle, atmosphere, and soundtrack are all great. The gameplay mechanics are generally well-designed, and the story/mystery had some interesting stuff going on.
    Though, I did encounter a couple of problems. For one, the controls and camera can be somewhat janky. Second, there were a few bugs.

For instance, one character (Gabriele) got stuck a couple of times. There were also a few moments when I couldn't tell if the gameplay systems were buggy, or if they were just designed to be unpredictable and confusing... maybe both.
    Still, I had a good time.    … Expand

    The way the city of Gravoi itself grows on you becoming the ultimate antagonist of the game will leave you haunted for quite some time after looking and the end credits. The look and the soundtrack of the game are outstanding, and you will be surprised more and more of the many gameplay novelties the game offers.

    Runs like **** on a mid-range GPU. No reason for this, graphics are ordinary. I get it: it's not an action game, but how can I appreciate a game when going around is not fun?

    Atmospheric, tension-filled, graphically pleasing. I couldn't stop thinking about this game even when I wasn't playing it; the many mysteries of the village were with me for a while. The controls took some getting used to, but well worth it. I expect to revisit Saturnalia next winter solstice (but on a more forgiving difficulty level). Recommended.

    An intriguing little game with a great setting and aesthetic, well worth experiencing blind.

    This disquieting, disorienting place leaves us as properly rattled as we've been by a videogame since Immortality. [Issue#378, p.114]
