In Part 2, you play as Karen, a calculated assassin on the hunt for a mysterious girl in the remote town.

“The characters are fleshed out, but the zombie apocalypse story has been used to death in the past and the game would benefit from voice overs which it doesn’t have,” GameOver wrote.
A separate review by Universo Nintendo said: “Perseverance – Complete Edition has an interesting and complex family drama.”
However, the publication added that the game “falls short” when it comes to the horror segments that unless you’re a die hard mystery visual novels fan.
