How it feels

a tactical RPG with heavy story exposition and a linear, dialogue-driven feel, emphasizing narrative over gameplay action

What players say

Players say this spin-off shifts the series to a roguelike dungeon crawler where dying makes you stronger. The story improves over the second game and ties directly to the first, but ends on a cliffhanger. Managing your character's sanity matters more than health, and some side content is permanently missable.
