Yeah, it's good. I love the characters and the little world it builds for itself. There's a very somber yet comforting feel to it all, especially the Refuge, my favorite part of the game. I also found that it handles its metanarrative elements with much more tact and grace than other similar indie games of the time, such as, say, Stanley Parable with its pompousness, or DDLC with its banality and overall shit quality. I'm glad to find something that gets these things right every once in a while, at least in my own eyes.

Knocked this out in roughly 5 hours total while waiting for my Twitter account to get unlocked. Not a long game at all, would definitely recommend giving it a try, especially for fans of other RPG Maker titles.

This is the first Quintet game that's really worked for me all around. The more streamlined arcadey approach to the ideas I thought were novel, but a little too cumbersome in Terranigma and Act Raiser, are presented in here in such a way that made me hard to put it down. Is it really as impressive or as important as either of those games? Not particularly, but the loop of mindlessly slashing your way through a dungeon with an ever-dwindling monster population, only to come back up for air and be greeted by an ever-growing town never stopped satisfying me until I hit credits.
