How it feels

A slow, story-heavy turn-based RPG that feels like a deliberate, earnest exploration of conspiracy theories, with cute pixel art contrasting its heavy subject matter.

What players say

Players praise the voice acting and satirical story, but note the game is rough around the edges. Combat is old-school hard, healing items are costly and early enemies hit hard. Some players dismiss it as a low-effort RPG Maker asset flip, while others split on its political content.
