Reviews
- Interesting concept with potential, reminiscent of Harry Potter.
- Art and music are well done, adding to the overall experience.
- Can provide unintentional comedy due to the hilariously bad voice acting.
- Poor translation and voice acting detract from the gameplay experience.
- Extremely short with minimal content, completing the game in under 30 minutes.
- Feels more like a tech demo than a full game, lacking polish and depth.

The story is described as nonsensical and simplistic, contributing to the overall low quality of the game, which is further emphasized by poor voice work and visuals. While some find humor in its low-budget execution, the brief 10-minute content may not justify the $3 price tag for most players.
“Hilariously dubbed, low-budget tech demo with a nonsensical story.”
“I can't recommend it for everyone at $3 since it's just 10 minutes of content, and the quality is pretty bad, from story and voice work down to the texturing and modeling.”
“The story is pretty simple.”

The gameplay experience is severely hindered by a language barrier, as the game is entirely in Chinese, making it inaccessible for players who do not understand the language. Attempts to change the language settings have proven ineffective, leading to frustration among users.
“Horrible gameplay; it's all in Chinese. I tried restarting Steam with the new language set to English, but it did not work. If you can't read Chinese, do not get this game.”
