How it feels

Playing feels like being told a gentle, storybook fairy tale around a campfire, with colorful tactical choices woven into a slow-paced, atmospheric adventure.

What players say

Players praise the art and music but say the game is very short and bare-bones. Many note there are only three cards to unlock, no settings menu, and the first card must be grinded to beat the game, making the others feel useless.
