How it feels

A dreamlike and visually mesmerizing RPG where you move through bizarre clay-animated worlds, fight quirky turn-based battles, and talk to strange creatures.

What players say

Players praise the psychedelic claymation art and guitar-heavy soundtrack, but are split on the platforming which some call awkward due to 8-direction movement. Combat focuses on status ailments and gets tougher late game. The game is a clear improvement over the first, though several note the ending feels abrupt.
