What players say
Pretty Solid, but i can feel the last month pacing kinda weird, all in all it feel rewarding in the final if you completed all quest and bonding with your friend. also the pc port performance is bad so - 8/10

I never thought I would ever like a turn based game, but this game proved me wrong. The story is so amazing i wish i could replay it with no memory of it
I had high expectations for this game, especially for the story, because of the awards it won back in 2024. I reluctantly recommend this game because although I do think it is a good game, I have mixed feelings about it. In my opinion, it's not as phenomenal or groundbreaking as others think.
