How it feels

A modest, story-heavy journey through a dark fantasy world, played at a measured JRPG pace with classic tile-based exploration.

What players say

Players praise the story and characters but are split on combat: some find it tedious with relentless random encounters, while others enjoy the classic JRPG feel. The game is well-crafted for an RPG Maker title, though minor complaints include no achievements and small font.
