    • “The premise is good, music and sound are spot on, and the gameplay is fun.”
    • “The foundational gameplay loop feels pretty solid, along with a decent number of random/reactive events which should keep things feeling fresh for a long while.”
    • “Even the tutorial itself was broken and crashed halfway through, and you only get to play the tutorial once, so I had to learn most of the game mechanics myself.”

Despite its intriguing concept, the execution leaves much to be desired, leading to a frustrating experience as players navigate through the missions.

    • “While it does give you a good introduction story into the world you’re getting into, you’ll have to figure a lot by yourself.”
    • “The setting and story is very good and I’m surprised it took this long for someone to create an umbrella-style type of game.”
    • “The tutorial is not a real tutorial; it's a story setup that teaches you the bare minimum.”
    • “There is absolutely no pacing, no interesting storytelling, and no fun mechanics; it's just really unfinished.”
    • “The game has a great concept with mediocre execution, but that alone is why I rate it quite well. So far, it's been 4 hours and I still have not properly beaten the first mission, and things are confusing as heck.”
