WTMG’s Leo Faria: “Root Film is a janky visual novel, but it makes up for its shortcomings with likable characters, a unique background setting, and most importantly, a lengthy story worth giving a crap about. It’s intriguing when it needs to be and it features enough player involvement and interactivity to make the act of reading through tons of lines of dialogue entertaining and engaging at all times. Maybe this would have worked better as an episodic anime, but I don’t regret tackling it at all.”
