How it feels

A slow, atmospheric dungeon crawl where you methodically explore a misty, lonely island with a sense of melancholy and mystery.

What players say

Players praise this dungeon-crawler as an obscure gem that blends Ys action with Zelda-style shortcuts and Diablo loot. Many say mouse controls work best, gamepad support is incomplete. The campaign is short, around 10 hours, and the game shows its 2005 origins in jank and opaque stat mechanics.
