  • Intriguing and deep storyline with moral dilemmas and a philosophical undertone.
  • Atmospheric retro pixel art style and an awesome soundtrack that fits the dark theme well.
  • Challenging gameplay with a Souls-like difficult combat experience and unique boss concepts.
  • Controls and gameplay mechanics are flawed, including delayed responses, problematic jumping, and inconsistent dodging.
  • Difficulty curve and enemy damage can be frustratingly high with limited health and infrequent checkpoints causing progress loss.
  • Visual quality is basic due to pixel art style, locked resolution, and lack of customization impacting player experience.

    The gameplay is criticized for floaty controls and poor hit registration, leading to frustrating combat experiences. While aiming for a unique semi souls-like style, the game fails to deliver enjoyable mechanics, ultimately sacrificing fun.

    • “Gameplay is equally poor with floaty controls and terrible hit registration.”
    • “Standing next to an enemy and thumping it while your attacks miss and its attacks kill you is not the kind of outcome one would expect with a basic modicum of gameplay testing.”
    • “I get the feeling that the dev wanted a style of game that is semi souls-like, but with its own style and gameplay, but the end result is a game that tries too hard at what it wants to be akin to, and ends up sacrificing any potential of fun the game might have had.”

    The story is engaging and well-structured, featuring a compelling twist and a linear but intricate narrative that keeps players intrigued. Unlocking spells and memories through scripted events adds depth and progression to the experience.

    • “Each time you perform some scripted event that advances the story you unlock a spell and a memory.”
    • “The story also has a nice twist.”
    • “Originally downloaded for a time killer in class but have become addicted and intrigued by the intricate yet linear storytelling throughout the game.”

    The graphics feature a nostalgic retro pixel art style reminiscent of Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, appealing to fans of classic aesthetics. However, the use of outdated visuals and locked resolution and controls limit customization and may detract from the overall experience.

    • “The art style reminds me of Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, which is a plus, and the soundtrack is awesome.”
    • “A choice was made to use obsolete retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
    • “Resolution and controls are locked, and can't be changed or customised to improve the visuals or the control experience.”
  • music
