  • story
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is characterized by its charming and simple premise, revolving around creating magic scrolls for various clients, with intertwining narratives that enhance engagement. While players appreciate the compelling storytelling and character development, many express a desire for a longer main story and additional side quests to enrich the experience. Overall, the narrative is well-received for its creativity and ability to immerse players, despite some criticism regarding its brevity and the consequences of failure in quests.

    • “This is such a charming little game; I absolutely adore the graphics, the gameplay, the story, all of it and I'm already getting my friends onto it!”
    • “It's really well thought out, with intertwining storylines and clever puzzles.”
    • “The story premise is simple, but the progression of the campaign tells multiple stories, which I thought was fun.”
    • “I feel like failure should lead the story in a new direction, rather than just shut the plotline off completely.”
    • “Failing, on the other hand, causes them to flip you off and prematurely ends their story right then and there - that is something which is actually bogus, unlike the other complaints I've seen.”
    • “It would be great if it had more items to interact with, other places to visit, optional side quests that give rewards based on difficulty and complexity, endless mode, and more usage for money.”
  • gameplay
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a simple yet engaging core mechanic of drawing magic circles to create scrolls, which many players find relaxing and charming. While the unique puzzles and storytelling elements are praised, some reviewers note a lack of depth and clarity in certain mechanics, particularly regarding time management. Overall, the game is well-received for its beautiful design and addictive gameplay, with hopes for deeper mechanics in potential future installments.

    • “The gameplay is about receiving various requests for scrolls from customers and making them with correct effects.”
    • “While the 'runs' might be short they're challenging, the uniqueness of the puzzles is intriguing, the little stories that you assist are entertaining, and the mechanics are fun.”
    • “Simple but engaging gameplay, a lovely aesthetic, and some great storytelling with strong character voices.”
    • “Unclear mechanics: how does the passage of time work at all?”
    • “I really struggled with things like the time mechanics; it was really annoying how it wasn't clarified.”
    • “The mechanics need adjusting (and I do personally disagree with the use of AI), but the ongoing stories sent by the player's customers kept me playing.”
  • graphics
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their charm and aesthetic appeal, with many reviewers highlighting the beautiful art style and engaging atmosphere. However, some criticism arises regarding the inconsistency in the quality of the graphics, particularly in later stages, and the use of generic AI-generated assets that detract from the overall experience. Overall, the visuals contribute positively to the game's charm, though some players wish for more features to enhance the aesthetic experience.

    • “The graphics are charming, the music is pleasant, and the gameplay is smooth.”
    • “The game has great aesthetics and atmosphere.”
    • “The artwork on the requests, choice of fonts, etc., is really beautiful.”
    • “Despite making cool looking backgrounds and well-designed assets for everything else, I guess they just gave up or didn't want to try at all when it came to emulating the art style they wanted.”
    • “It's a free-to-play game, the devs have made no indication that they intend to extend it into a full, paid product, and the AI artwork is so generic that if the game didn't tell you it had AI assets in it, nobody would be able to tell in the first place.”
    • “Very much has potion maker art style vibes.”
  • music
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally described as pleasant and relaxing, complementing the charming graphics and smooth gameplay. However, some users note that the soundtrack can be repetitive, with only one track playing during certain activities, leading to noticeable looping and a desire for more variety. Overall, while the music enhances the experience, its limited range may detract from long-term enjoyment.

    • “The art and music are both relaxing.”
    • “The music, art, and writing are well polished and set you up for a great evening of relaxation.”
    • “The looping is very noticeable and the song isn't very long at all.”
    • “There is not enough music, however.”
    • “Kinda repetitive soundtrack: there is only one track that plays for when you're 'working'.”
  • atmosphere
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is consistently praised for its relaxing and cozy qualities, reminiscent of titles like Strange Horticulture.

  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers express uncertainty about the game's replayability, noting that it could improve if developers add more content or requests. Currently, the lack of clarity on future updates leaves players unsure about the game's long-term replay value.

    • “I'm not sure if the developers plan to add more requests, or if I've seen all the requests, but if they do, I can see this having replay value.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly when experimenting with different combinations of complex attributes for spells, as it requires repetitive re-creation of each attribute. This can lead to frustration and a sense of monotony in the gameplay experience.

    • “This also presented an issue when attempting to discover new attributes, because re-creating each attribute became tedious when trying different combinations for each of the spells, particularly the ones that used multiple complex attributes.”
