The gameplay is praised for its effective integration of VR and flatscreen experiences, allowing only the host to purchase the game while others can join with a player edition. However, while the immersive full diving mechanic and map editing features show potential, many users feel that the current gameplay lacks depth and interactivity, indicating a need for significant updates to enhance the overall experience.
“Also, it combines VR and flatscreen gameplay very well, and only the host needs to buy it; the rest can use the player edition.”
“The mechanic of full diving is such an immersive feature for parties looking to roleplay.”
“I like the idea of the immersive gameplay and the map editing.”

The graphics are praised for enhancing tabletop RPG campaigns with appealing visuals, particularly suited for generic European medieval settings. However, users note a lack of diversity in aesthetics, as it may not cater to those seeking non-European themes like tribal or pyramid designs. The journal-like aesthetic is also appreciated.
“It's very useful for TTRPG campaigns; it adds some nice visuals to your story.”
“This is great for obvious reasons as well, and I do like the aesthetic of it being a journal.”
“But if you want to build a very generic European medieval village and nothing else, this is for you. Just hope you're not looking for any other form of aesthetic like tribal villages, pyramids, or anything that isn't generic Europe.”

As it is still in alpha, players are advised to expect ongoing issues and incomplete features. Additionally, there are uncertainties regarding performance in VR, potentially linked to SteamVR.
“I find that opening the inventory is a little buggy, and the game lags occasionally.”
“I tried this game in VR; I'm unsure if it's due to SteamVR or not, but it's pretty buggy.”
