How it feels

A story-driven JRPG with turn-based battles and optional romance, set in a mythic Welsh-inspired world with a pixel-art aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the tactical combat built around a poise-break system and the Welsh mythology setting. The game is short, around 8-10 hours, and runs well on Steam Deck. Several reviews highlight the werewolf romance and a card minigame as unexpected bonuses.
