  • Unique and stylized monochrome art style with thoughtful, sparse use of color enhances the game's artistic appeal.
  • Engaging, quirky, and sometimes funny narrative with rich, esoteric dialogue and appealing worldbuilding reminiscent of games like Hylics.
  • Calming and fitting classical soundtrack that contributes to the game's strange and immersive atmosphere.
  • Combat is frustrating due to frequent stunlocking and balance issues, requiring grinding or specific strategies to progress.
  • The game is quite short with basic RPG mechanics and some underutilized systems, limiting depth and replayability.
  • Lack of accessibility features such as volume control, clear UI elements, and confusing dialogue presentation can hinder player experience.

  • music

    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    34% positive mentions, 58% neutral mentions, 8% negative mentions

    The game's music, primarily a unique, bit-crushed classical soundtrack, is widely praised for its charm, atmosphere, and fitting strangeness, with some finding it calming or intriguingly unsettling. However, a common criticism is the lack of volume controls, making the loud or repetitive music experience uncomfortable for some players. Overall, the soundtrack is considered distinctive and memorable, contributing significantly to the game's unique vibe and appeal.

    • “I genuinely love this game and its art style. It really needs more love, and the OST should be published because I just love it so much.”
    • “The music is unique and strikes a perfect balance between almost sounding dissonant while still remaining harmonious.”
    • “The writing, the music, the aesthetic, sound design, art style, the story that's surprisingly simple under its layers of weirdness, it's all incredibly reminiscent of the original Hylics.”
    • “I had to sit in the menu with its loud music for another minute just to review this.”
    • “For what reason is there that it doesn't have a volume slider either from what I could tell, to get rid of its pain-inducing music.”
    • “Some of the jokes are fine, but having to suffer through migraine-inducing music and painfully loquacious script really soured my experience here.”

  • story

    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    19% positive mentions, 70% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The story is often described as quirky, surreal, and emotionally engaging, with a unique blend of absurdist and heroic elements. While some find it simplistic or goofy, others praise its compelling characters, immersive world-building, and intriguing narrative layers that enhance replayability through multiple endings. Overall, the story, supported by strong atmosphere and music, is considered a standout aspect that captivates players despite its unconventional style.

    • “It is a game with simple graphics and mechanics but a heart-wrenching and heroic story.”
    • “The story is immaculate, the world building is beautiful, and the character designs match those of AAA story games like God of War and The Last of Us.”
    • “This game is a deep comment on society as we know it through a well thought out and powerful contextual lens - the beauty lies not just in the gameplay, but the intriguing linguistic play and compelling story driven by subplots and deus ex machinas.”
    • “Honestly this game doesn't have a whole lot to offer. It's surreal, with a very slightly interesting take on its turn-based combat (not necessarily good, but not bad either), but the story, characters, and world are just not all that compelling, at least to me.”
    • “It looks like an RPG knockoff with goofy plot elements and an unserious storyline, though the atmosphere and piano soundtrack are phenomenal and I found it very engaging.”
    • “The story just is very simple.”

  • graphics

    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 48% neutral mentions, 12% negative mentions

    The game features a distinctive, quirky art style reminiscent of digitized clay or retro aesthetics, with simple yet unique graphics that effectively complement its quirky and surreal atmosphere. The visuals, often greyscale with strategic color accents, are praised for their artistic refinement and charm, enhancing the overall experience alongside calming music. While some find the graphics overwhelming or minimalist, most agree the art style is a key standout element that adds significant character and appeal.

    • “The writing, the music, the aesthetic, sound design, artstyle, the story that's surprisingly simple under its layers of weirdness, it's all incredibly reminiscent of the original Hylics.”
    • “Although most of the visuals are in greyscale, small pops of colour are used expertly for the birds’ eyes and during fights.”
    • “This visually appealing artwork reminded me of a digitized scan of real clay (something like what Hylics has).”
    • “This game smells like old women's perfume and 1-bit graphics.”
    • “It is a game with simple graphics and mechanics but a heart wrenching and heroic story.”
    • “The artstyle, although overwhelming at times, really caught me and the combat makes me laugh.”

    • “In terms of gameplay, most of it consists of fetch quests, relatively easy fights, and a few pretty challenging puzzles.”
    • “Gameplay-wise, it appears to me that it is built using RPG Maker or a similar program; this is fairly obvious given that certain menus appear but are never used.”
    • “The only real downsides of the gameplay are that the inventory and leveling systems are really underutilized, which is caused by the next issue: the game is just really short (though the playtime can be extended a decent amount if you are achievement hunting).”
    • “Typical RPG gameplay without anything that special.”

However, developer updates have improved the balance, reducing the grind and making progression smoother.

    • “Been grinding for hours and still no results.”
    • “There were also a couple accessibility problems, and there was a lack of healing items meaning I couldn't really progress without grinding for food and XP, which was kind of soul-sucking and frustrating.”
    • “Less than two hours later the dev comes back with some balance changes making combat a lot more fair and making it a lot less grindy to heal.”
