I think that the relationship that Hal and the main character share is some of the best writing I have seen in these type of visual novel games. The subtle forshadowing was great with hints being dropped throughout the game making a second or even third replay great. The artstyle has got to be the highlight of the game as it lulls you into a false sense of security with the cozy artstyle that slowly falls apart as the game goes on. The side characters Yaman, Joel, Baku, and Winston were written beautifully with thier conclusions being wonderfully written. Each character had their own motivations along with the goals that pushed them forward. The different dynamics with the different characters made it very enjoyable game to play. Overall I had a great time and this game stands along side of Doki Doki Literature Club as some of the best VN games ever made. 10/10

Wow, this game has got to be the best thing I have ever played. The mechanics, lore, and characters make this such an interesting experience! I wouldn't even be glazing if I said that this was on par with other indie games such as SilkSong, and Deltarune. The core mechanic of the cards was extremly fun to use and the way the characters are actual people was a good artistic choice. I think that the artsyle adds a lot to the feel and vibe to the game as the pixalated effect of real people adds a whole other layer on this game. The sacrifices are also another thing I wanted to touch upon, they are fun and do not get boring at all. They are creative and keep players such as me on their toes! Oh yeah... Don't even get me started on the story. The idea of a fallen regime and its impacts on the character is such an interesting concept. Even the title "Sacrificium" adds so much lore and story overall. The main character is such an enigma as we don't know much about him but we do know that he was part of this regime that had fallen. The enemies are also a key core. The weird character designs and wacky looks adds surrealism to the game and made my experience so much better. Overall I can see that some sacrifices had to be made so... SACRIFICIUM / 10
