What players say

Players enjoy the steampunk setting and the unique shaman drum combat, but say the controls feel clunky and take time to learn. The game is short at around five hours, though performance issues like screen tearing and a lack of polish are noted. Translation errors and a confusing story divide players, with some calling it fascinating and others criticizing it as messy.
