    • “This game has great art and very original game mechanics.”

    • “A beautiful story with nice and smooth graphics and the orchestra in the background sounds amazing!”
    • “I bumbled my way through to the end, hated the main character and the weirdly loose and simple storyline, which was strange because there was so much lore in the pages of the Nubarron (that you find throughout the game). Then there was a twist at the end that implied an epic story that just didn't exist throughout the whole game.”
    • “The lore was interesting, and the end promised a lot, but the actual story in this game was like a pamphlet about a game that it wanted to be, and the gameplay annoyed the hell out of me.”
