The game delivers a nostalgic classic JRPG experience with straightforward turn-based combat and an engaging storyline inspired by time-travel themes.
Character art, pixel art style, soundtrack, and unique mechanics like the phone and selfie feature add charm and personality to the game.
Despite some flaws, the game offers enjoyable exploration, interesting characters, and fun gameplay that appeals to fans of traditional RPGs and indie titles.

The game suffers from technical issues including glitches, occasional game-breaking bugs, difficulty with screen capture for streaming, and menu crashes.
There are inconsistencies in the story and event progression that can cause confusing or broken sequences, detracting from immersion.
The use of RPG Maker engine results in dated visuals, resolution problems, and reused maps that make the world feel less lively and somewhat empty.

The story is engaging and well-paced, featuring charming characters, nostalgic RPG elements, and clever use of time-travel themes reminiscent of classics like Chrono Trigger. While the early sections and unique features like the in-game phone add personality and immersion, some players felt the narrative lost momentum midway. Overall, it’s a fun and rewarding experience, especially when viewed as part of the full trilogy.
- “The story had me hooked with its charming characters and well-paced twists, while the turn-based combat was both strategic and satisfying.”
- “The storyline really draws you in and I really enjoyed the gimmick of the phone; the selfies were a fun addition and overall gameplay is good - would recommend!”
- “Only gripe was I wish the game was way longer than what it was, but for what content there was story-wise, it was well worth it.”
- “The early part is very interesting and they seem to put a lot of serious effort into giving the game some personality, you can tell by seeing the map, the phone menu, character portraits and such. I would give 8.5/10 if things continue this way throughout the story; however, the quality went down right after the player gets to the second part, the past.”
- “The thing is: you need to play all the series to enjoy it the way it deserves, because as you progress through the game, you can see lots of references, and you might not be able to understand it completely if you don't have the background story.”
- “About the story, we need to think about it as a whole, and I mean that we need to think about all of the trilogy.”

- “Metthink is a solo developer; even though all of the visual design, songs, and mechanics are from third parties, he managed to gather it all by himself and include all of it as he wished.”
