How it feels

a deliberate, old-school point-and-click adventure with light RPG progression, where you slowly unravel mysteries by exploring and solving puzzles at your own pace

What players say

Players say it is a very short adventure RPG that takes 2 to 3 hours to finish, drawing heavy inspiration from Quest for Glory. They appreciate the dialogue and art style, while noting the puzzles are straightforward and the combat is janky but serviceable. Some find it bare bones and more like a demo, though others feel it is worth the low price.
