How it feels

A contemplative journey through a hand-drawn fantasy world, with deliberate turn-based combat and a quiet sense of mystery.

What players say

Players praise the hand-painted visuals and soundtrack, but are split on everything else. Many say the story starts strong then collapses late-game, with some encountering progression-breaking bugs. The turn-based combat is called simple or boring, and technical issues like a small window size and slow movement frustrate.
