What players say

It's hard to recommend a game that feels unfinished and will never get a sequel to continue the story. Even at its current price, I wouldn't suggest picking it up.

2 more reviews, 2 not recommended
It's a crappy RPG Maker game that's also abandonware. There are hundreds of these games on steam and this one only stands out for the fact that it's surprisingly unfinished. Like how the hell does someone not finish making one of these RPG Maker game?
