How it feels

A mysterious, melancholic adventure where you explore a ruined factory with real-time combat and a romantic drama unfolding through pixel art and moody piano music.

What players say

Players enjoy the story and characters, especially Ceena and Shina, but are split on the new combat system. Some find it clunky and unresponsive, especially during boss fights, while others appreciate the added challenge. The game is seen as a solid entry from developer Gustav, with fans of the previous games finding familiar strengths and weaknesses.
