What players say

Players praise the gorgeous pixel art, music and Ghibli-like atmosphere, but split on difficulty and polish: some love the old-school no-hand-holding design, others find save points too far and combat janky. Performance on low-end hardware is poor, and a few worry the early access is abandoned.
