  • The combat system is solid and satisfying, featuring deep combos and a rewarding parry mechanic that integrates well into gameplay.
  • The game's visual style is distinctive and impressive, with a mix of digitized FMV sprites and photo-bashed backgrounds that tie well into the lore and create a unique atmosphere.
  • The game has a lot of heart and soul, reflected in its entertaining dialogue, well-done voice acting, and a compelling story, making it feel like a labor of love from the developer.
  • The user interface, especially the pause menu and map design, is very barebones and could be improved for better clarity and usability.
  • Some platforming feels floaty, which can be challenging and occasionally frustrating, with momentum-based jumps requiring skill to master.
  • There are several bugs present, such as occasionally getting stuck in save rooms or map markers not updating properly after opening chests.
