How it feels

A slow-burn, story-driven RPG where you meticulously explore a hand-drawn fantasy world, manage your party, and make impactful choices over dozens of hours.

What players say

Players praise its massive scope, with 100-plus hours across three intertwining storylines and deep skill trees that let players customize builds. The early chapter can feel slow or confusing, and the forced-inn save system frustrates some. Players also note that while the developer was initially absent, they later became responsive to bugs.
