Incredible characters, art, story, music, dialogue, everything...
...Except the combat.
Combat is.. terrible. It's painfully boring, takes forever, and is poorly balanced to boot (there's a very obvious/powerful build and you're not very rewarded for switching it up.. sometimes even punished for it). Thankfully there's an option to turn down the difficulty significantly to be able to focus on the rest of the game without as much disruption.
I get that's mostly a symptom of being made in RPGmaker, but that's the reason for a 4.5/5 rather than full 5/5.
The rest of the game though? What a delight.
Characters I couldn't help but obsess over, absolutely gorgeous art, solid story, and OST so good I bought it and the demo on Bandcamp as soon as I finished the game.
