To begin, keep in mind that Parquet is primarily a kinetic narrative. Everything about this story is linear, with the exception of an after story with a single option. Despite the fact that I normally find this type of visual novel the most difficult to recommend to newbies owing to its lack of interactivity, I must say that Parquet has a compelling tale throughout. The story isn't long, which is a virtue in this situation because it eliminates stuff that would have been added to fill in the gaps. The few shorter arcs enable you to comprehend the universe and spend time with the characters without feeling dragged down. There's also a great eerie element to it, as some hints allow gamers to figure out what's going on before the reveal if they pay attention.
