How it feels

A nostalgic top-down journey through a pixelated childhood home, mixing exploration and combat with a focus on uncovering secrets and righting past wrongs.

What players say

Players call it a Zelda-like for Game Boy Color fans, but warn it is a calm, puzzle-focused game, not an action romp. There are romance options for ten characters, and while the main story is short, the postgame is huge and harder. Some get lost without in-game dungeon maps, and late 2023 reviews note the game lacks official English localization.
