The game's story is rich and engaging, featuring a captivating narrative about corruption and a plague that threatens the world, set against a beautifully diverse backdrop of environments. While the gameplay mechanics are solid and enjoyable, the lack of sound during dialogues detracts from the storytelling experience, making it harder for players to stay immersed. Overall, the game showcases a lot of care in its world-building and narrative elements, though it could benefit from additional context and audio enhancements.
“Very unique beautiful world with a captivating story about a corruption that you can see take over the world that you play in!”
“The mechanics are solid and the story is engaging.”
“You can tell there is a whole lot of TLC that was put into how the gameplay feels and operates as well as how the story comes out.”
“There is no sound for the majority of the game; it greatly affects how much a player will pay attention to the story. They could add small sounds for the people who talk to you, and it would help a lot to make it easier to follow.”
“The plot seems to be about some weird plague and an order to purge everyone by a caesar. I think it could be a neat plot, perhaps if they gave the player a bit of information on the background of where they began, it would be neat.”
“What's not the best news is that a stage resets if you decide to quit the game in the middle of a mission.”

Overall, the game's stability is described as extremely lacking and in need of improvement.
“Could be a fun game, but I can't get it to function (Windows 11). It seems buggy and gameplay is nearly impossible as it won't restore a save game or skips the first section and starts off at the airship.”
“Right now, it is extremely barebones and very, very buggy.”
“Of course, it has its share of problems and glitches.”
