What players say

Players praise the witty and absurd dialogue, often comparing it to Earthbound, and enjoy the cute pixel art. Combat is easy against normal enemies, but boss fights are surprisingly tough and rewarding. The game encourages exploration with optional characters and dialogue, creating a heartfelt and humorous story.
