Press reviews: “Rakuen gives full range to the power of its truth. It’s thoughtful, beautiful, sad and funny. It presents itself as a childlike narrative game, but it offers unsettling and affirming truths about the way we live. I feel privileged to have spent time with its characters, with their weaknesses and their strengths. This is an extraordinary game.” 9.5/10 – Polygon “And after completing the game, I truly do feel it's a creative masterpiece.” Indie Obscura “The result is something enchanting. I haven’t felt so swept away by a world in so long, and was utterly compelled to explore it as deeply as I could.” Rock Paper Shotgun
