What players say
Players praise the story, characters, and how choices feel meaningful even when things don't go your way. The 2D art and voice acting are highlights, though the 3D environments and controls can feel clunky, and there is no manual saving. The game takes about 5 to 6 hours and explores colonial power dynamics in an alternate 19th-century setting.
