- “There are lots of in-depth mechanics, crafting feels rewarding (from weapons to spells), lots of ways of moving from one place to another, lots to explore, cool artifacts and enemies. I recommend taking a look at indievr's tutorial videos to get an idea of most of the present mechanics.”

The moon is gorgeous, and the clouds during sunset and sunrise are stunning. The mechanics are great; I'm still getting used to the belly as the main storage, but it works and is actually more realistic that way.”
