How it feels

A deliberate, tactical party-based RPG that immerses you in a dark fantasy world with deep rules and atmospheric exploration.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, music, and hand-drawn environments, but consistently warn that the game requires significant effort to run on modern systems, with crashes and save corruption common. The skill system draws polarized reactions, some enjoy its depth, others find failure rates frustrating. Players compare it favorably to Dragon Age: Origins but note it is slower and more janky.
