How it feels

A strategic simulation where you manage resources and make tactical decisions amid a personal rebellion story.

What players say

Players praise the yuri romance and villainess story but warn that the strategy battles can be grindy and punishing, with the best ending easily missed without a guide. The English translation is rough for some, and a few call the later acts a slog, while others find the difficulty well balanced.
