The story is generally well-received, featuring a charming narrative centered around two children, Rucifar and Luna, with a light-hearted and humorous tone. Players appreciate the depth of the character relationships and the engaging storytelling, although some have noted minor bugs and pacing issues, particularly during combat scenarios. Overall, the narrative is seen as a strong point of the game, with a satisfying blend of crafting and adventure elements.
“The story revolves around two kids, Rucifar and Luna.”
“Overall, the biggest advantage of this game is the quality of the story, which is satisfying; even though I haven't finished the game, the way the author tells the story of these two children makes me laugh quite often.”
“The story is quite relaxed and funny, in my opinion, especially in terms of Rucifar, who is very innocent and finds it difficult to understand what Luna wants.”
“There's no heavy conflict so far as I play, although the intro has some heavy background on the story, which builds up my 'concern' as to what will happen onward.”
“Some of the text in the opening video was also unreadable because it was quite fast, but the delivery of their story premise was quite striking.”
“The story presented is very simple; you are two children who live in one village, living life like a village child until a naughty cat keeps you in danger.”

The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring a solid blend of story progression, side quests, and unique mechanics like alchemy and mining. However, players have reported issues with overpowering enemies, confusing controls, and bugs that detract from the experience, particularly with controller detection on Steam. Despite these drawbacks, many appreciate the overall mechanics and storyline, indicating a positive outlook on the gameplay.
“The game story and gameplay are good, nothing to really criticize about that. I like the alchemy mechanic and mining mechanic.”
“The gameplay is centered around advancing the story, doing side quests, making things with Luna's alchemy (damn Luna, you really are a genius!), farming materials for alchemy, and battling monsters that get in your way.”
“Believe me, even after playing this game for more than 2 hours, I'm still trying to adapt to the battle mechanics, maybe because I'm too new to this genre and often play regular turn-based instead of ATB.”
“Seriously, my only problem is with the control mechanics. Steam often messes up the controller and frequently fails to detect it, forcing many of us to play with the keyboard.”
“The first time I played this game, I felt a little confused with the mechanical controls.”
“Believe me, even after playing this game for more than 2 hours, I'm still trying to adapt to the battle mechanics. Maybe it's because I'm too new to this genre and often play regular turn-based instead of ATB.”
