How it feels

playing feels like a traditional action RPG with light fantasy exploration, sword combos and special moves, guided by a straightforward adventure narrative and a female protagonist.

What players say

Players compare the action-RPG combat to Zelda and Ys, praising the fluid controls and full voice acting. The game is short, about 5 hours, with a non-linear structure and yuri subtext, but some find it generic and note controller double-input bugs.
