It drags a bit, but overall it's a fun little mystery.

Oct. 2024

I quite enjoyed playing Root Letter! It's a mystery VN combined with some point&click/investigation gameplay. The story is fun and meanwhile some stuff was pretty predictable, I was still interested since the writing is overall entertaining and I was eager to find out the whole truth. I especially liked how unreliable the characters are, as well as how weird some routes were (tbh I preferred the obscure endings over the realistic ones lol, I'd love the alien and curse endings to be longer). My probably only complaint is that the constantly relaxing atmosphere feels a bit too peaceful for the genre, even many of the parts that were supposed to be suspenseful/creepy didn't really manage to feel intense (though I guess the game just purposely keeps it's calm vibe at all times which is also kinda nice). Despite finding that disappointing, I'd say it's a decent balance between dark topics/mystery and something relaxing/casual. Otherwise there are great visuals and the voice actors really did their best lol.

Really good read I love immersing myself in the culture of the region. Great story not too long either probably 15-20 hours to 100%.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay. After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like. Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends. Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together. Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that. Thank you.
