The story offers a unique blend of fantasy and industrial revolution themes with strong socio-political elements and meaningful player choices that impact the narrative. While praised for its engaging writing, innovative delivery, and choice-driven consequences, some find the dialogue-heavy approach and current early-access incompleteness limit its connection and depth. Overall, the story is seen as a solid, intriguing foundation with promising potential as development continues.
- “It's an RPG with a surprising level of choice and consequence, and a bizarre but well-written and engaging socio-political story set during a unique magic/industrial revolution.”
- “The choices you make actually have impact on how the story happens, starting from which background you choose.”
- “The writing is delightful, surprisingly reactive, and the narrative is very happy to let you play against the grain of the story and reward you for it.”
- “While a backstory of recovering memories for the player's character is a fair vehicle for banter between them and the mage companion, it proves lacking in connecting the two.”
- “Story delivery feels off right now.”
- “The story is dialogue heavy, told through numerous self-contained chapters.”
