How it feels

A turn-based tactics game that feels like a tense, deliberate puzzle where each move tests your wits with no inventory or leveling, told through multiple isolated perspectives.

What players say

Players are split on this sRPG. Some praise its puzzle-like combat that removes leveling and gear, rewarding strict strategic use of skills, while others dislike the lack of RPG progression and forced puzzle solutions. Nearly all reviews mention the English translation is very poor and makes the game hard to understand.
