Development

The game was the first RPG developed by Christine Love, who had previously developed visual novels. She stated that the different format allowed the game to convey a "sense of place" since movement in a visual novel is inherently menu-driven.[2]

Reception

Sam Wachter of RPGamer rated the game 4/5 points, calling the battle system "serviceable", but not keyboard-friendly, and noted that it was easier to play with a controller. He also called the difficulty "unbalanced", with some acts being "trivial" while others were incredibly difficult. However, he praised the presentation as "fabulous", saying "a lot of the music absolutely slaps", and stating that the game's visuals had "a lot of punch to them".[3]

Isaiah Colbert of Kotaku called the game "a trip worth taking", saying that the writing was "witty and deep" and the pixel art "evocative". While calling the game's early combat "repetitive", he stated that it "evolved into more challenging exchanges", and said that it was "ultimately pretty approachable".[4]
