However, some users express frustration with the quest log system, noting difficulties in tracking progress and recalling active quests.

    • “The characters are interesting, good music, nice layout, and I'm starting to get invested in the story.”
    • “Beside the main storyline quests, there are contract quests from the notice board, side quests given by NPCs, and a place called the Rabbit Foot that provide a series of additional quests.”
    • “Because I often forget what quest I took and sometimes I get stuck, don't know how to proceed.”
    • “How can I access the quest log to see what quests I have and track quest progress?”

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in this RPG Maker game have received mixed reviews, with many criticizing the low-quality pixel art and lack of fullscreen and HD support, which detracts from the experience for modern gamers. While some players find the graphics cute and likable, others feel they are lazy and poorly executed, suggesting that the visuals do not enhance the overall gameplay. Overall, the graphics are seen as a significant drawback, overshadowing any potential charm the game may have.

    • “The graphics are cute and very likeable.”
    • “The graphics are pretty decent as well.”
    • “The graphics look okay, but I cannot tell by looking at the pictures if it would be a good game at all.”
    • “As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer.”
    • “This features really godawful, lazy pixel art instead of real graphics.”
    • “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The game is a typical RPG Maker game, with some interesting twists in game mechanics.”
    • “Recommended: ratings 7/10 (interesting game mechanics).”
    • “Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy-pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay.”
    • “Although I have not played too much of this game yet, this is how it's been after 1 hour of gameplay.”
    • “If you are interested in a short and quick video on the beginning gameplay, check out my review of this game on the YouTube channel 'Nerding Out with Jerod.'”

    Reviews highlight a sense of irony in the humor, noting that poorly made games (referred to as "asset flips") often receive higher popularity and better ratings than the game in question, which is described as "incompetent garbage." This juxtaposition seems to evoke a mix of frustration and amusement among players.
