So - This is very much like Subsurface Circular - a short narrative choice driven game, with a very interesting premise. It's not so much a mystery as its predecessor, but a story that requires you to navigate moral quandaries while switching perspectives between characters in the story. It feels like a natural expansion on the systems that Subsurface was based on ( and based in the same world too!) but for some reason, the narrative itself feels flat and I can't help but feel like it falls short of the tightly written story of the first game. It's not a bad game tho - the writing is weaker, but worth playing through... though I really have major gripes with the way one of the characters in the story was written. They stick out like a sore thumb, like a poorly implemented trope instead of a real person in the game's world like the others.

Enjoyed it a lot, probably more than Subsurface circular. Not long to finish but has different endings I believe. Has some interesting choices and the story is rather good for something so short. Only thing I found annoying was the constant screen wobble, no option to turn it off and nothing online to find a fix or change this setting. Otherwise, not a bad short story.

Fun, good, ~90 minute game. I was pro-alien from the get-go. The mystery wasn't as engaging or complex as in their previous game, Subsurface Circular , but it would spoil it if I say why. I got the good ending ( Teng gets beat up ) on my second try.

my biggest issue with quarantine circular is similar to my issue i had with subsurface circular, the previous game from this developer: it's just too damn short. both games are relatively simple but very memorable nonetheless. the UI and storytelling both felt more fluid in this game and the art style/animation gave more life to the characters in this story. overall, this is a pleasant experience, exploring an interesting concept about aliens, and humanity banding together to overcome adversity. i feel that this is a much better implementation than the predecessor in this series.

This visual novel felt like no other I had played. Despite its short length, it manages to build up a whole universe-as well as characters and organisations which all have different philosophies and motivations.
