A perfectly adequate game. Leans very heavily into retro-aesthetic Earthbound-style charm, and only mostly succeeds. Combat is inventive in premise, but becomes samey and tedious pretty quickly. Timing attacks and defense is extremely swingy, with failure punishing more than success rewards. The story of the main character's relationship with her sister is intriguing, but some of the other themes are a bit heavy-handed. I am marginally curious to see new areas and uncover the story, but the gameplay just isn't gripping enough to be worth it.
