What players say
Players praise the writing and worldbuilding but say the gameplay is a slog, with repetitive room traversal and janky combat. The game is frequently compared to Sunless Sea, and while fans of that game will find more to love, others warn that exploration feels tedious and some story threads go nowhere.
