The story is engaging and features old-school quest mechanics with a realistic narrative, allowing players to explore and interact with villagers for various missions. Players appreciate the humor woven into the quests, such as quirky side missions, and enjoy the freedom to tackle challenges at their own pace without forced autopathing. However, some users have encountered issues with quest tracking and completion.
“It's fun and I like the story so far, and it has way more potential; for example, there is a survival mode in the making.”
“The slow progression and quests are fantastic.”
“The game is also fairly funny so far; there was a side quest for helping a farmer herd his pigs, and after you do it for him, your character says that the NPC may have hit his head somewhere or caught some illness, maybe go see a healer. It made me chuckle.”
“The demo quest still shows available for me, yet I have done it and it isn't showing complete.”
“Quest to kill young lizards in the cave - when I went into the cave (and cleared it) before the quest was taken, after that I can't finish it.”
“Oldschool quests with cutscenes and teleportation sometimes.”

The game's graphics, powered by Unreal Engine, are solid and feature a charming, somewhat cartoonish art style that may not appeal to everyone but suits its target audience. While some players appreciate the aesthetic, others feel it lacks the polish of AAA titles. Additionally, the inclusion of a low optimal graphics feature is a welcome option for those with less powerful PCs.
“Played the demo, loved it, bought the game, and so far I can say that it looks like a nice and promising gothic/risen style, but with a more charming and even cartoonish art style!”
“The game uses the Unreal Engine, so the quality of the graphics is solid.”
“There is an audience for this style of RPGs; every game doesn't have to have AAA graphics or animations to be enjoyable.”
“The game uses the Unreal Engine, so the quality of the graphics is solid, but I can't say they are stylistically to my liking.”
“I've only played for about half an hour, but so far there has been a low optimal graphics feature which has helped a lot for my PC (I appreciated this).”
