    • “It's really just another dungeon crawling game using a lot of tired old graphics that other games use, like Treasure Hunter Claire, which is years old.”
    • “Combat is fine (it's a very boring implementation of normal turn-based combat), but the art style is very generic RPG Maker stuff.”
    • “The pictures are really absurd, and even though the protagonist eventually wins, well sort of, I found myself cringing at the graphics and plot.”
