How it feels

a deliberate, turn-based RPG where you explore a richly detailed pixel world with eight distinct character stories at a relaxed pace

What players say

Players praise the art style, music, and turn-based combat, but find the eight separate stories feel disconnected and the writing bland. Many warn about the grind, a punishing secret boss, and missing quality-of-life features like quest tracking.
