The story of the game is set on a mysterious island filled with secrets and strange creatures, inviting players to explore its depths through a non-linear narrative. While the initial intrigue and vibrant visuals captivate, the pacing can falter, and issues with translation—often leaving players confused—detract from the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, some players appreciate the character-driven storytelling and the nostalgic feel reminiscent of classic RPGs, though many express frustration with the execution and coherence of the plot.
- “The story begins on a mysterious island shrouded in uncertainty, where the protagonist must uncover secrets, battle strange creatures, and make decisions that determine the outcome of their journey.”
- “The island itself serves as both setting and metaphor—a closed environment teeming with mystery, inviting players to explore every corner for clues, hidden treasures, and fragments of the story.”
- “Very beautiful and interesting game with a nonlinear storyline and an unexpected turn at the very end of the game.”
- “The story doesn't make any sense as it is poorly written and poorly translated.”
- “If you want a good game for a ton of achievements this is the game for you, but if you want a turn-based/story-based game, don't get this game; the mechanics are hard, and the translations are spotty at best.”
- “I will confess to not having beaten this game, as I’m lost; the last plot point was in that language, and the quest information doesn’t really tell me how to advance, and I keep triggering the same event over and over again when I find and fight the same bandits.”
