  • Stunning and gorgeous art style with detailed character sprites and backgrounds that greatly enhance immersion.
  • Well-written, engaging story and characters, with strong world-building, lore, and a fresh, mature take on the Robin Hood legend centered on a compelling protagonist.
  • Meaningful choices affecting Marion's personality and multiple distinct romance routes with very different experiences and endings, encouraging replayability.
  • Limited content currently available in early access, with only a few romance routes released and others still in development, leading to a high price point for the current amount of content.
  • Some players find certain romance routes less appealing due to character traits or pacing, and absence of certain relationship options like 'just friends' routes.
  • Explicit intimate scene artwork differs in style from the main game art, which some players dislike.

    The story of this visual novel reimagines the Robin Hood legend through the perspective of a strong, clever Marion in a richly detailed alternate Avalon, blending historical and fantasy elements seamlessly. Players appreciate the well-written character arcs, diverse romance options, and immersive worldbuilding, with multiple distinct routes offering high replay value. While some note initial info-dumping and limited impactful choices, overall the narrative is praised for its originality, emotional depth, and inclusive, engaging storytelling.

    • “The story of this visual novel has an interesting concept, as well as the setting being a sort of alternate-universe version of historical earth in which fairies are real and druidism is the primary religion of the Great Britain analogue (Avalon).”
    • “Her growth and development is truly the central heart of this story and I enjoyed seeing her grow into being a stronger and more self-assured person, even though she had real doubts about herself at the start of the story.”
    • “The writer has a brilliant grasp of character arcs, both for Marion and the LIs; seeing how the characters develop and experiencing the romance arcs is both enjoyable and moving - at one point in Robin's route I had tears in my eyes because I felt so caught up in the story.”
    • “It’s just so few options we get to make that really matter, in my opinion, that it reads more like a story than a game with any branching.”
    • “There’s a lot of info-dumping at the beginning that makes it difficult to get to the actual story, and there’s no customization of the main character.”
    • “It is even more disgusting that through the story writers badly try to show her as powerful and self-reliant woman, but only in words.”
  • music

Overall, the soundtrack, alongside sound effects, significantly elevates the player's experience and immersion.

    • “The art and design of the game is top-notch - this is absolutely one of the prettiest otomes I've ever played, indie or otherwise - and the music of the game was so delightful, I sometimes stopped reading to close my eyes and concentrate on the beautiful soundtrack.”
    • “Amazing sound effects with stunning classical instrumental background music like flutes, harps, and lutes setting the medieval atmosphere and making you feel totally immersed in Arion's world.”
    • “The music is great as well, always fitting for the setting, situation, and characters, and it just puts you in a good mood as well.”

    • “My only dislike is the explicit CGs because they're a different art style, and I really prefer the main game's art style.”
    • “At first, I was a bit skeptical, as some of the artwork is a bit too clean for me personally.”
    • “You can choose between a more chaste experience and the "full Sherwood," which includes explicitly detailed (but not visually graphic) intimacy scenes.”

    The emotional aspect is deeply engaging, featuring well-written story paths that balance sharp, sarcastic characters like Will with vulnerable, heartfelt moments. The interplay of banter and emotional depth creates a compelling and touching narrative experience.

    • “Will is quite the opposite, he’s a “cranky crow”, sarcastic, sometimes a bit harsh and you can tell pretty early that he’s hiding insecurity and hurt behind his behaviour, but it’s still heart-wrenching to discover what exactly all this is about.”
    • “The story paths currently released so far (Robin and Will) are written so well and I love the banter and heartfelt moments between Marion and all of the characters in this game.”
