The best indie RPG I've ever played. Full of soul, positivity and hope. Suyoung Jang is an absolute legend for doing this. The gameplay is solid too, while exploitable and generally on the easier side, it's full of amazing quality of life features that turn based games often don't have the consideration to include. Also, the superbosses are pretty fun to fight early and there's a lot of them. The pets are really cute and fun to collect.

One of the best aspects is the intuitive and natural design. The quest design is naturalistic and mostly contextual. You'll naturally be hinted at a weapon to unlock or a character who wants something that you'll come across if you explore. Collecting everything is rewarding and doesn't force you to out of your way. Crafting and exp gaining are designed in such a way that if you fight most enemies just the first time you'll have more than enough of everything. In addition, grinding is disencouraged in general since you only get combat exp the first time, and it caps fairly early.

The soundtrack is solid, and the visuals are minimalistic but cute. Finally, it's really commendable how as such a small studio, they were able to get this game out in so many regions simultaneously with minimable translation errors and a Japanese dub.

I can't recommend this game enough. It's an RPG made specifically for RPG fans. Any complaints I could bring up would be nitpicks and a disservice to the amazing effort put forth here.
