What players say

Great RPG. Some minor bugs every now and then but nothing that hinders the fun. Sometimes the story feels a little fast in regards to pacing of events. 6.5/10

This is super cute and I've really enjoyed it so far. I'm probably only 1/4 of the way through. I plan on finishing, just saving it for another time like a special treat. There's so much to explore and do, the menu / your notebook is complex but it all makes sense, the map is dense with information but the story flows easily. This is a world you can really get lost in. A lot like a fairy tale with teaching lessons...

Game has a lot of oversights and borderline bugs. Balance is odd too, you only deal 1 damage with every hit, or 2 with a special, so every fight is a total slog.
