What players say
Players call Nightingale Downs a very short RPG about a deer defending its forest from humans, finishing in about 1-2 hours. Many note an abrupt ending and say the combat feels grindy, especially since healing costs karma points. Opinion is split on whether the $2 price justifies the lack of polish, with some describing it as feeling like a student project.
