The story is engaging and realistic, with a variety of quests that encourage exploration and interaction with NPCs, reminiscent of classic RPGs. Players appreciate the humor woven into the narrative, as well as the potential for future content like a survival mode. However, some users have encountered issues with quest tracking and completion, which can detract from the overall experience.
“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.”
“You explore the world and talk to people, who most of the time will give you quests to do.”
“Villagers have a variety of missions you're able to set out to do, with no forced autopathing. I enjoy learning.”
“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.”
“I don't just accept one mission then go do every part of it until it's done.”

The game's graphics, powered by Unreal Engine, are solid and feature a charming, cartoonish art style reminiscent of gothic RPGs, though not everyone may find the aesthetic appealing. Players appreciate the inclusion of a low optimal graphics feature, which enhances performance on lower-end PCs, indicating that the game can be enjoyable even without AAA-level visuals.
“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.”
“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).”
