- Fairly mediocre storytelling and characters, but the actual world and story is still cool in concept.
- One of the final boss options is pretty lame compared to the other, its also the only boss in the game that felt slightly buggy. Kinda weird. The other boss is SUUUUPER rad though.

Was vibing pretty hard with this game despite some minor gripes and lacking QoL. Then the main hook of the game kicked in (At around the 9-10 hour mark) and the narrative/pacing quality spiraled downward so rapidly that I've opted to shelf the game for a bit to play some other stuff.

Sad to say it honestly, was really enjoying it.

That said- nice music and really nice presentation with some charming characters.
