What players say

Players praise the art and music, but overwhelmingly report that the game was abandoned shortly after early access, with no updates for months. Many complain about poor English translation, repetitive gameplay that grows stale within hours, and frustrating UI and optimization issues. Sentiment is split on the core concept, but a majority do not recommend buying it.
