How it feels

A lighthearted, meta adventure through a fictional MMORPG with turn-based combat and occasional quicktime events.

What players say

Players are split on this passion project. The story, characters, and full voice acting are praised, but the combat is widely criticized as tedious and a poor imitation of Paper Mario. Frequent bugs, softlocks, and lack of auto saves frustrate many, while no character customization and a focus on story over gameplay make it hard to recommend to anyone but established series fans.
