How it feels

A slow-burn, tactical fantasy RPG where you carefully summon and command creatures to survive a mysterious, isolated island.

What players say

Players praise the unique setting and creature-shaping mechanics, but note tedious inventory management and slow progression. The remaster improves the original, though some find the retro graphics and lack of music off-putting.
