What players say

Players praise the dark fantasy world and the emotion-card mechanic that shapes the story, but nearly all warn the game was abandoned after its developer went bankrupt and has not seen updates since 2022. Reviews are split between those who found the writing and romance compelling and those who felt the relationships felt superficial.
