You die constantly and it's kinda a cycle of yelling in frustration and then dying. The movement mechanics are kinda bad and so are the casting mechanics. When you cast a spell or move a pattern, it SOMETIMES works. It's just kinda poor and honestly very anger inducing. I would rate it higher, but they NEED to fix these mechanics. It just makes the fighting scenes so hard to play. Like out of 5 starts, 3.8 or so. Maybe 3.5, once the mechanics are easier to deal with, the game will be 5/5.. So, this game is incredible. The gameplay is entertaining and a good mix of challenging but easy enough to get through; the artwork is stunning (props to Lord Gris) but in my opinion the game is lacking in real sustenance. Every "day" of the game is the same thing, you can talk to the characters if you want, on certain days you can go back to old shrines with characters and earn special tokens, you can do side quests, but I feel like it's just the game trying to throw things at you to distract you from the fact that you're just gonna go back to another shrine at the end of the day. The shrines are all the same as well, they have puzzles, and you have to face different monsters on the way, you beat a boss, and then you go back to the campus. spoiler The ending of this game is also quite lacking. It ends with Jun going back home, woohoo. The subplot of the two characters Persimmon and Pax being missing is solved after you complete the game, where a picture is shown depicting who I'm assuming are the two characters. It kinda leaves you wondering "so that's it?" It would've been nice to get more backstory on who took them, and how they got back. Since we don't get a lot of information on who they are unless you talk to Liza and learn that Persimmon is her girlfriend, and that's basically it. Most of the time you kinda just forget that the missing characters exist, until Liza brings it up at the end of the game, where it's revealed that they were taken in order to get Jun to stay in the Emyrs world (Also we don't get a reason for that either???), the point is is that you don't really grow any attachment to the missing characters, and therefore the ending becomes unsatisfying and lacking in what you really wanted. \/spoiler tl dr: The game is good, but the ending is extremely lacking, and the gameplay can get quite boring and repetitive quickly.. I'm really torn going into this review. I gave it a thumbs down, but I didn't hate it. It's a solid 3/5. I've played through twice now, and I'm trying to talk myself into a third run. My overall opinion is, unfortunately, the game isn't worth the $15 I paid for it. It IS worth playing, however, so if you can get it on sale and you're thinking about giving it a try, don't hesitate. Here's a breakdown of what I loved and hated:Pros:- Battles are fought with a take on the Match 3 style games, so it's an easy system for most people to pick up. That kind of accessibility is always appreciated. Some other players have struggled with it on the PC, but I plugged in an Xbox controller and had no issues. (If you find it's still too difficult and you're more interested in the story than gameplay, you have the option to turn on assist mode in settings. You'll still have to go through the puzzles, but you'll no longer take damage. If you're getting frustrated, I'd suggest switching it on to finish the game.)- Visually this game is STUNNING. I love the aesthetic. It felt like a reward for putting myself through multiple play throughs--more on that later.- Music and sound effects were fun. Sometimes you get partial voice acting in games and it doesn't add to the experience. In this case I felt it did.- There was a lot of diversity in the NPCs. You have the option to spend a fair amount of time interacting with the inhabitants of Emrys, and they're interesting. If you're running side quests, you might as well enjoy the dialogue along the way, right?- The story is promising. By the end I was invested and really enjoyed the development of the plot. That's saying a lot, since it tended toward the predictable. The writing was fun, and none of the dialogue ran overly long. In a short game, you need to keep things concise, and the devs did a great job with that. The writing style was fresh and a little funky, which fit the story and visuals perfectly.Cons:- This game is short. I feel like I should get at least 10 hours out of a $15 game, but this one comes in at no more than 5 per play through. That would be fine if there was incentive for playing it a second or third time, but...- There is only one ending (as far as I can tell.) While it seems as though you can change the end of the game, it's very much a Mass Effect 3 situation. Take this with a grain of salt, because I've only done two runs, but you will always end up in the same place, regardless of the major decisions you make. I don't mind games with a fixed ending, but if a game gives me a series of choices, and alludes to alternate endings, I'd appreciate it if the dev held up their side of things and came through with the alternate ending. This might bother me more because I play a lot of VNs, but it sounds like it's a universal complaint.- The ending leaves a lot of loose ends. This was the most disappointing aspect for me. I felt like the dev wanted to do a mobile-style version of a game like Persona, but fell extremely short of the mark. The anime aesthetic, choice-driven plot, side quest options, and mundane interactions (like choosing who you text, or how to spend your day leading up to battle) were promising. The lackluster ending was not. Even the final boss battle was a let-down. If a story raises a series of questions, but only answers half of them, it makes the game feel incomplete. The only thing they can do at this point to make it worse is release a second game that attempts to tie up those loose ends. For the price, it really needed to be a complete game, and no amount of novel gameplay or beautiful art is enough of a band-aid to fix it.My overall take? It was an underwhelming first entry for Viz media into the gaming world. Rose City Games had a great concept with the Match 3 meets anime-inspired adventure game, but they seem to have fallen victim to the idea that a game can be only so many things at once: novel gameplay, beautiful aesthetic, or well-rounded plot. In this Match 3, you can only pick two.. Finished this game in three hours, doing all but one extra quest line that I missed. While it's a fun game, it's very short, the story-line leaves huge unanswered questions about the alternate universe it plonks you in and the characters could've benefitted from a little more backstory. I did really like the art style and the puzzles, but I can't condone buying this game at full price for three hours of play. The puzzles do get progressively harder, but they also become repetetive. So don't get this one unless its on sale, in which case, buy it to kill a few hours because you'll love the unique characters and interesting puzzles. :). I'm really torn going into this review.

In this Match 3, you can only pick two.. This was a great little game. Fun experience, great story, great writing, all around a good time. The match 3 combat system was a fresh take and felt satisfying as the game went on. Not very long, yet it didn't overstay it's welcome one bit. Feels like the game is exactly as long as it should be. I really loved every character met, side and main ones. I don't know if the devs have plans to release anything else in regards to this story or the world built here but I'd be happy to see more from them.. I very fun game and i love the art. Great game in every aspect. Loved the story, the characters were awesome, the aesthetic is super cute, and the way the puzzles/fights work is amazingly intuitive and fun. Took me 3-4 hours to beat, and I'm replaying it for fun immediately afterwards. Heartily recommended for anyone looking for a chill game.. A simple game for one or two evenings: kind characters, nicely designed combat, pretty backgrounds, and a decent soundtrack. The World Next Door probably won't disappoint you.. This game is a wonderful blend of visual novels and your classic match-three. It's light-hearted story and stunning art are eclipsed only by the excellent soundtrack. With well thought out character tropes, you'll soon find yourself cheering for your own personal favorites. The simple match-three gameplay is given quite a surprising challenge with combat and health mechanics complete with unique boss fights. I highly recommend this game to anyone who's looking for a casual, feel-good time.
