How it feels
A moody, hand-drawn action-adventure that blends exploration and combat with an ominous, story-driven atmosphere.

What players say
Players compare it to Zelda and Chrono Trigger, praising its musical spellcasting system that requires memorizing note inputs. The story is melancholic and the world feels shallow to some, while others love its atmosphere. Most finish in about 16 hours with satisfying puzzles and boss fights.
