    • “While the levels and bosses are creative, the mechanics, narrative, and sound could definitely use some love.”
    • “Kind of annoying when you're almost done with the boss and die due to some strange mechanics.”

  • story26 mentions

    • “The last leg of this game was building up for its grand reveal, and while I thought it would go the predictable route, it didn't. I felt like it fell short at the end for that reason, as the story itself really took a backseat to everything else, and I wasn't satisfied when finishing.”
    • “Definitely a souls-like game in terms of mechanics and story, as I had no idea what was going on. I'm not even sure if the protagonist is a loli or a shota.”
