What players say

Players describe it as a very short JRPG that feels like a paid demo, with many comparing it to Final Fantasy 7 in style and structure. The combat is simple, the story starts slowly, and the game relies heavily on walking and talking, but the visuals, soundtrack, and character designs are praised.
