One of the most unique mystery games I have ever played. The vibes and worldbuilding are so incredibly distinctive and full of character, and the freedom you are given by roaming around this open world and tackling things in whatever order interests you has never really been done before to this degree. The mystery itself is quite engaging as well, always keeps you on your toes with new reveals and twists that make you question what you thought you understood about this case, and sometimes even what you understand about this world. If you know you enjoy mystery you owe it to yourself to play this game.

This was a passion project made by one man and it shows. It has a rather sizable length, especially if you want to see all of the post-game and side content, yet it never gets dull. Locations and vibes always change at the right time with each area having it's own unique identity and importance in the grand scheme of the story, GOD the pacing of this game is IMMACULATE. Even I, admittedly, have tiktok brain attention deficit syndrome (pray for me), but this game NEVER became a slog even through it's lengthy playtime. No idea what kind of double mega ultra quadruple tiktok brain rot black hole mind subway surfers at the bottom of the screen attention span someone has to acquire to think otherwise. There are frequent party changes to keep things fresh and make sure you aren't using the same strategy the whole game (and helps better showcase each party members' personality), and the WONDERFUL transformation and in-depth equipment systems make putting your strategy together a joy both out of battle and on the fly in-battle. One of the most criminally overlooked turn based games of all time with some genuinely genius game design. Some of the most fun I have ever had with an RPGmaker game.

Didn't really enjoy this game very much. I came into this game hearing a lot of people say that the combat might seem a bit difficult at first. However I never really got that impression. I love challenging but rewarding combat. This was not that. This game has tedious combat. All the enemies are relatively easy once you figure out what they do and what attack pattern to use to defeat them. After that you just repeat against that enemy as many times as they pop up. It's not challenging, it's just time consuming and not very fun. The only gameplay I really found myself enjoying were the multi-phased boss fights, where the process of figuring out what attack patterns you need to use to defeat an enemy actually becomes exciting and strategic rather than repetitive and boring. Unfortunately this is not what the majority of the game is like. Players may get drawn in by the wonderful atmosphere, art, and music of this game, but the actual game is incredibly lacking. I feel like the world of this game was quite interesting, but the way the story was told through flashbacks and scattered notes was really not very engaging or interesting. You really only need to buy this game if you're a hardcore metroidvania fan or you're able to sit through a lot of boring gameplay to be able to look at some cool environments.
