How it feels

a slow, methodical blend of strategic turn-based combat and side-scrolling platforming, with a pixel-art aesthetic and a soothing yet oppressive forest atmosphere

What players say

Players praise the blend of turn-based RPG and real-time bullet dodging, calling it creative and engaging. The eerie atmosphere and somber story hook many in. However, combat is frequently called slow and repetitive, with unbalanced weapons and companions, and the game is short with little replay value.
