    The gameplay is engaging, easy to pick up, and enjoyable, particularly as a short game jam entry.

    • “The artwork is what initially brought me to it but it was definitely worth sticking around to get all the achievements!”
    • “Not to mention there's something rather reminiscent of Muzan Kibutsuji from 'Demon Slayer' in his aesthetic - that same elegant, almost aristocratic bearing combined with an underlying supernatural malevolence.”

  • story

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The story is simple and fitting for the game's fable-like style but feels somewhat stretched for its length. Some players desired a more engaging narrative with multiplayer and a dedicated story mode to enhance the overall experience.

    • “The story is simple, but feels right at home in an old fable for a simple game.”
    • “The dice game itself is pretty cool, but I think getting to 100 points is a little too long for what story is told in-between.”
    • “This game was fun but nothing I saw from the trailer came into the game, also, please add multiplayer and a story mode, this game would be peak as hell.”

  • emotional
