The value story
March 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $1.24. 37 discounts in the 7 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart.
On value it sits in the top 43 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre. Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas ($14.99, scores 49) outscores it, and so does KAKU: Ancient Seal ($24.99, scores 44). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
6 of the 544 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 54 percent of the 263 reviews written there were positive, against 74 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 17 hours; clearing it takes 36, which is 2.1 times the campaign.

What players say
very minimal to do game. Cant recommend tbh its just a wander around pointlessly type game with no updates or content drops since it was put out.
This game appears to be trying to borrow some of the Zelda franchise appeal (and indeed, is why I bought it since I don't have a Switch) however it fails in execution. First the good. It's a fairly attractive open world game. Exploring is fairly entertaining. The background music is gorgeous, seemingly using a real orchestra to play famous classical pieces. Progress is fairly steady. Knowing what to do next is...
Nice idea, very poor execution. Battles are ridiculously bad, especially camera and turning to opponent as lock on opponent doesn't work as it should word. Attack cancellation by some enemies, blocking is random, attacks are super slow etc. So, so bad. Don't buy it.
