How it feels
a short, punishing boss-rush where each death teaches a new skill, set to an old-school SNES soundtrack and framed as a self-help journey

What players say
Players describe it as more of an interactive motivational speech than a traditional RPG, lasting under an hour. The combat is described as a puzzle rather than a deep turn-based system, and many find the positive message too blunt.
