  • The game features a fun and challenging turn-based combat system that encourages strategic thinking and equipment management.
  • The story, centered around the relationship between the two protagonist sisters, is engaging and offers multiple paths and endings, enhancing replayability.
  • Exploration is rewarding, with hidden secrets and items that contribute to the gameplay experience, making the journey enjoyable.
  • The game suffers from a lack of dialogue and depth in the story, with silent protagonists making it difficult to connect with the characters.
  • Some gameplay mechanics, such as the limitations on skill usage and minor technical issues, can hinder the overall experience.
  • The endings are too similar, which may discourage players from replaying the game to explore different outcomes.
  • story
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is characterized by its classic JRPG style with branching paths, allowing players to explore different outcomes and relationships, particularly between the two sisters, Selena and Shirley. While the narrative is engaging and well-paced, some reviews note a lack of depth and meaningful moral choices, as well as reliance on emoticons for character expression. Overall, the story is simple yet enjoyable, with the potential for multiple endings that enhance the player's experience.

    • “The story is amazing, and the fact that you can learn things that happened in the past with dark magic is mind-blowing.”
    • “Each story unfolds worth the adventure, and the relationship between Selena and Shirley has created a longing for more!”
    • “Going through the entire game was a pleasure, especially having choices that affected both the story and how you actually played the game; this is something I wish more games did.”
    • “Additionally, there aren't that many opportunities to make moral choices, at least for mandatory events, though this may be due to the story's short length.”
    • “The story and morality system are lacking, but there are some interesting plot elements that could be made better if the protagonists had properly written dialogue, enough that it could have bumped the game to 7.5/10 or 8/10.”
    • “This might come as a surprise for a game that boasts of multiple endings, but there isn't much to be told about the story.”
  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by solid combat mechanics, including a weapon-switching system that enhances the uniqueness of each encounter, and a balanced difficulty that allows players to succeed even with less-than-perfect execution. However, some mechanics are underexplained, such as the darkness affinity, and limitations on certain features may hinder exploration. Overall, the game offers a classic JRPG experience with fun and challenging gameplay, despite its graphical shortcomings.

    • “The gameplay is balanced enough that it's possible to beat the no corruption route even with sloppy gameplay, albeit with trial-and-error for some bosses.”
    • “Combat is solid with the weapon switching mechanic, giving a unique feeling to each fight.”
    • “If you're looking for a classic JRPG adventure with fun and challenging gameplay, this game is definitely worth trying.”
    • “The limitation for a certain mechanic prevents you from exploring everything that the game has to offer.”
    • “The dev claimed that there are 4 endings, and while I only managed to find 2 throughout my playthrough, the only difference between both of them is on the final boss mechanic.”
    • “There is a mechanic called darkness affinity that contributes to a certain aspect of the game, but the game never explains it, especially on how to increase it.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users have reported issues with optimization, including stuttering during gameplay and problems with mouse target selection interfering with keyboard inputs.

    • “There are frequent stutters during gameplay, and the mouse target selection often overrides keyboard inputs.”
    • “The optimization is lacking, leading to frustrating performance issues that disrupt the overall experience.”
    • “I encountered numerous bugs that hindered gameplay, making it clear that the optimization needs significant improvement.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features amusing NPC interactions that contribute to its overall humor, enhancing the player experience with lighthearted moments.

    • “The game is filled with hilarious NPC interactions that keep you laughing.”
    • “I love the witty dialogue and the clever jokes sprinkled throughout the game.”
    • “The humor in this game is top-notch, making even the most mundane tasks entertaining.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are considered underwhelming by some players, yet they feel that the engaging mechanics and rich lore compensate for the visual shortcomings.

    • “This game may not present itself the best graphically, but the mechanics and the lore definitely do it justice.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding for resources to be tedious, although the mid-game offers some relief with physical-vulnerable mobs that drop valuable items. Additionally, there are a couple of grindy achievements that contribute to the overall experience.

    • “This can also make it more tedious to grind for resources, though the middle section of the game does mercifully have physically vulnerable mobs that drop toka grass and soul essence.”
    • “[b]Grindy achievement(s):[/b] Yes (~2 achievements).”
