Third entry in the Dusk series, probably my favorite overall. Crafting mechanics are just as addicting as Escha to Logy, with a new means to attach skills to items added on top. Combat did away with positioning around the enemy for benefits, but instead party skills have a lot more interesting mechanics to them with some unique time cards, buffs, and level manipulation. Music got upgraded, the best soundtrack of the three imo. I enjoyed the cast of characters and the overall plot of this one more than Escha, and it does a good job of tying in characters and story from the first two games without them overshadowing the story of the Shallies. The Dusk gets a lot more focus this time around, and because of that it still can't quite match the vibes that came from it being so out of focus in Ayesha, but it gets closer than Escha did and the exploration of it is still interesting. Shallie makes a return to the very imagined locales of Ayesha that I was missing in Escha as well. The ending still leaves room to explore this world more, but it does a good job tying up the stories and makes a nice conclusion to the trilogy
