- “Though I’m only going to focus on the gameplay for this review, not because the story is bad, it’s a nice little story about a treasure hunter who wants to make his sister proud, along with this cat he finds which you can name. I named it Tiddles after the family cat who passed away last year.”
- “The writing is lighthearted in tone, yet this belies a touching story about friendship, sibling love, and personal growth.”
- “A wonderful little story about legacy and the impact you leave behind, Zosma is a tale full of heart, humor, and puzzles!”
- “Rogue had more plot than this does.”

The gameplay features a blend of engaging combat mechanics and exploration, with a focus on themed dungeons filled with puzzles and collectibles.

- “The gameplay consists of a series of themed dungeons with lots of little puzzles and collectibles.”
- “Combat overall is quite fun with a lot of potential on account of the different mechanics such as the sizable amount of equipable sigils, the chain mechanic, and the various enemy abilities and weaknesses that come into play.”
- “Gameplay (exploration): absolutely top notch; great puzzle solving, and the treasure-hunting is an absolute blast; you can find various hints and riddles inside green chests, which will lead you to gold chests containing relics.”
- “Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy-pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay.”
- “It is by no means a minimalist style, especially regarding the environments which contain plenty of detail that is not relevant to the gameplay or needed for the story.”
- “100% on hard mode, actually surprised how much I enjoyed it; the combat has a lot of depth with the 'chain mechanic', which can get pretty difficult as well, the overworld is pretty entertaining with lots of puzzles and treasures to find.”
