How it feels

A slow-burn, story-driven RPG where you observe a world's upheaval through turn-based battles and a rich narrative.

What players say

Players praise the massive story and world-building, with some calling it the longest RPG they have played in RPG Maker. The combat is classic turn-based with a high difficulty early on, but players warn the game is in early access with only two chapters out of five planned so far.
