How it feels

A tense, Lovecraftian tactical RPG where battles feel like a slow, deliberate duel of timing and resource management, rewarding cautious defensive play.

What players say

Players split on this final entry in the Skautfold series. It switches to a timeline turn-based system with rock-paper-scissor attacks and QTE timing, which some find fun once learned but others call frustrating and unbalanced. The combat has no tutorial and the game takes 6 to 10 hours with little replay value.
