  • Unique and captivating visual style with a charming, cartoony, and pastel-toned aesthetic that creates a fairy-tale atmosphere.
  • Good foundational gameplay ideas including survival elements like resource gathering, crafting, and combat mechanics, with some enjoyable features such as the bow combat and atmospheric music.
  • Strong potential and promising concept with a compelling story and mood, appreciated by players looking for a distinctive indie survival/adventure experience.
  • The game is buggy, glitchy, and unfinished with problematic mechanics such as awkward combat, clunky movement, frequent invisible walls, and broken building/crafting systems.

  • Current lack of polish, limited content, and some design flaws like excessive parkour segments and weak stealth mechanics make it feel incomplete and not ready for mainstream release.

  • gameplay

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers enjoyable mechanics, particularly with combat, stealth, and unique elements like mushrooms, but is hindered by repetitive and disconnected parkour sections.

    • “Very fun gameplay for an alpha game.”
    • “I prefer this type of animation for this style of gameplay; it sets the mood and ambiance better in my opinion.”
    • “My only real problem with it is the mechanics and stuff you do, they seem all over the place.”
    • “Too many parkour sections; it's the only thing I'd say to cut out completely from the game. It's way too boring, repetitive, and doesn't connect as well to the other mechanics like combat and stealth.”
    • “Bad gameplay.”

    • “Great concept and compelling story.”
    • “Hopefully this gets resolved so I can continue on, as I did enjoy the game and want to see what's next with the story.”
    • “Once I crafted the fire arrows, I was unable to continue as the quest would not update even when I lit the fire.”
    • “The ding when quests update sounded but did nothing, which is disappointing as I would like to continue.”
    • “Hopefully this gets resolved so I can continue on as I did enjoy the game and want to see what's next with the story.”

  • graphics
