WTMG’s Leo Faria: “This was a fantastic surprise. Across the Grooves might feature some questionable sound department choices and some limitations caused by its visual novel nature, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the story and its themes. I even gasped a few times due to some clever plot twists and squealed like a little kid whenever the characters mentioned some of my favorite classic rock bands during a dialogue section, like Led Zeppelin or Aphrodite’s Child. This is a game that won’t solely be enjoyed by visual novel enthusiasts, but anyone who loves music and any story directly related to classic bands and occultism. It’s the rare case of a visual novel that features a bit of something for everyone.”
