ComicsBulletin's Arden Kehoe is enchanted by this feminist fairy tale.
Michael Kitchin writes, "Cinders has a charm to it that I've rarely found in the visual novels I've played. The writing manages to contextualise and add to a familiar story whilst allowing the main character to branch in interesting ways. It's a shame the story doesn't break completely from the source material but there's some intriguing ideas on display, here. The detailed, animated backgrounds help create a lively setting and the music maintains an airy feel. It's a striking effort that largely succeeds."
Dave writes: "Approach Cinders on Xbox One with caution. If you like a bit of melodrama in your life, and the prospect of a well-crafted, alternate take on Cinderella sounds appealing, this glass slipper may well fit."
Neil writes: "It's safe to say that visual novels have taken off in a big way over recent years, with a whole multitude of offerings available in the genre, giving players the chance to sit down, controller in hand, and take in a number of wonderful tales. But perhaps none of them have been able to deliver the ultimate tale, until now, as Cinders comes to Xbox One and PS4."
