An off-grid cabin. A tech-savvy loner. One ray of sunshine in a bleak, ruined world. Cabin Fever is a slice-of-life visual novel with meaningful player choices, multiple endings to explore, and a story that will touch your heart.
The game presents players with a branching narrative, where each decision they make significantly impacts the direction and outcome of the story. Reviewers highlight that carefully considering each choice is crucial, as some lead to tragic or unsatisfying endings, while others unlock more favorable resolutions.
Most playthroughs last 2-5 hours, depending on the player's reading speed and desire to explore multiple endings. While some appreciate the focused, concise storytelling, others wish the experience had a longer runtime. Nonetheless, the multiple endings and ability to replay the game to see alternate paths are praised for adding to the game's replayability.
One standout feature is the option to choose the protagonist's gender and voice. Players can select between a male or female protagonist, each with their own unique voice actor. This level of protagonist customization allows players to personalize their experience and connect more closely with the main character.
The game includes some accessibility features, such as the ability to save at any point and toggle between automatic text advancement and manual progression. However, reviewers note that the addition of a "skip" function to quickly advance through text the player has already read would have been a helpful improvement.
