  • Charming and warm story with emotional depth about friendship and compassion.
  • Relaxing and atmospheric experience with pleasing art style and soothing music.
  • Interesting concepts and unique mechanics like butterfly power-ups and colorful environments.
  • Clunky, sluggish, and inconsistent controls make platforming frustrating and sometimes unenjoyable.
  • Lack of save and exit options forces players to restart from the beginning every time, which is inconvenient.
  • Technical issues including clipping, performance problems, awkward camera, and unpolished visuals detract from the experience.

  • story

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The story is described as interesting and promising, with a relaxing, scenic vibe that appeals to players seeking a calm experience. However, some find the narrative unclear or underdeveloped early on, noting a lack of direction in the initial quest and difficulty fully engaging with the plot. Overall, the story shows potential but may require patience to fully appreciate.

    • “I would recommend this to a gamer that just wants to relax and enjoy a scenic gameplay with some interesting storyline to it.”
    • “- Interesting beginning story.”
    • “Demo is super promising; looks like it's going to be a very beautiful, relaxing story game from what it shows so far, and the music is really nice and very aesthetically pleasing.”
    • “Everything else made it feel like a chore, and I still have no idea what the story's about (I wouldn't even know that it has anything to do with reincarnation had I not read the description on the store page).”
    • “I have a feeling someone better at that stuff wouldn't have any trouble but I just think they lost the calm, chill effect of the game with some rage-worthy parkour, and I didn't even get to complete the story so that's an hour and a half wasted.”
    • “First quest had no purpose.”

  • graphics

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 11% neutral mentions, 22% negative mentions

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some users appreciating the relaxing atmosphere, art style, and visually pleasing environments, while others find the low-poly style and strong motion blur slightly substandard. Overall, the visuals contribute positively to an enjoyable and soothing experience.

    • “I enjoyed the graphics; the places are nice to look at, creating a relaxing atmosphere.”
    • “Nice visuals paired with pleasant music and some interesting gameplay ideas.”
    • “I like the art style of the game.”
    • “That combined with the low poly 'art' makes this slightly substandard on the visuals.”
    • “I haven't seen such forceful motion blur in years, and in fact, the game looks better at the lowest settings with an actual ounce of possible consistent artstyle with it.”

  • gameplay

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The gameplay features some interesting ideas and pleasant aesthetics but suffers from nonsensical mechanics and poor depth perception, which negatively impact the overall experience. While unique elements like buff collection add some variety, the gameplay lacks coherence and depth.

    • “Nice visuals, pleasant music, some interesting gameplay ideas.”
    • “Butterflies are an interesting mechanic.”
    • “Add to this non-existent depth perception, which is crucial to some gameplay elements.”
    • “The mechanics are mostly completely nonsensical.”
    • “But there's also a mechanic of picking up buffs.”

  • music

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users consistently praise the music as soothing, pleasant, and aesthetically pleasing, contributing to the game's relaxing and beautiful atmosphere.

  • optimization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's optimization is poor, with high settings causing significant frame rate drops below 60 FPS, even on mid-range hardware like a GTX 1060 and Ryzen 1400. It feels underperforming and may still be in a beta state.

    • “It's not optimized well at all, with the max settings holding your framerate hostage at below 60 and possibly even below 30, even though you might be running a GTX 1060 and a Ryzen 1400 with 16GB of RAM.”
    • “As to the performance, it's also a joke.”
    • “I hope this is some beta build too, so maybe the performance is better with the full game.”

  • atmosphere

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The atmosphere is generally praised as relaxing and immersive, enhanced by appealing graphics, though some users note that clunky controls can occasionally disrupt the experience.
