    The story is set in a post-apocalyptic kingdom and follows a group of travelers, offering an intriguing premise despite a simple plot and some party members lacking development. While there are variations in playthroughs, the experience is hampered by a poor English translation and unresolved access to the true ending. Overall, the narrative shows promise but suffers from execution issues that detract from its potential.

    • “The bones of this game are very promising. I love the environmental design and the combat mechanics, and the story is intriguing, despite the sometimes wonky or just unfinished translation.”
    • “I haven't done all of the variations in the story, but supposedly there's a decent amount of variation between each playthrough.”
    • “Some party members didn't get much time to do anything; one of the party members doesn't really do anything story-wise and they just stand there in most cutscenes, occasionally saying something. They only do anything important at the bad ending and at the end of the game's second act.”
    • “The plot of the game is simple enough, following a collection of travelers through a post-apocalyptic kingdom, though the less-than-stellar English translation will hold it back on occasion for those who don't know French.”
    • “Also holding the plot back, at least as of writing, is that no one on the forums has yet worked out how to access the true final boss - and, hence, the true ending.”

  • stability

    The game currently suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous bugs reported by users, leading many to feel it is unfinished. However, the developer has been proactive in addressing these problems, frequently releasing fixes in response to player feedback. Overall, while there is potential, the game's stability remains a major concern at this time.

    • “This game has so much potential, but as it stands at the time of writing this review, I feel that the game is unfinished due to the poor English translation and the buggy state that it is in.”
    • “The developer, incidentally, has been very active on the forums and has been quick to issue fixes in response to bug reports...which is just as well, since the game was notably buggy when it first launched.”
    • “This game is a horribly buggy mess.”

Overall, the mechanics are fun and accessible, contributing to an enjoyable gaming experience.
