How it feels

Playing feels like slowly unraveling a dense, philosophical story through deep dialogue and atmospheric exploration in a strange, dark fantasy world.

What players say

Players praise the writing and story as some of the best in RPGs, but nearly all agree the combat and gameplay are clunky and frustrating, with some calling the experience a 'videobook.' Many struggle with early encounters and note a steep player drop-off.
