Light Fairytale Episode 2

Light Fairytale Episode 2, developed and published by miyu.works, continues its retro-inspired role-playing journey by expanding the story, world-building, and emotional depth introduced in the previous chapter. Built as the second installment in an episodic RPG series inspired by classic Japanese role-playing games from earlier gaming generations, it combines turn-based combat, exploration, character-driven storytelling, and science-fiction themes into a focused experience that balances nostalgia with modern design sensibilities. Rather than existing as an isolated adventure, this installment feels designed as a continuation for players already invested in the larger mystery surrounding its underground world. The setting remains one of the strongest elements of the series. Civilization survives beneath the surface in an underground environment shaped by secrecy, political control, and fading hope. The world immediately separates itself from more traditional fantasy role-playing settings by embracing science-fiction influences and a more mysterious atmosphere. Players continue following Haru and his companions as they move deeper into dangerous territory while searching for answer…

Story is not the greatest aspect of this game, this jrpg looks interesting and is fun little game to play. Level transition is not the smoothest when you switch arias, but it is bearable an all in all this is simple indie game. Has around 3.5h of gameplay.

Okay, by all means good game but oh my god the ending felt like a climax that you just get nothing out of- ALL of the work and none of the payoff. What WAS that? I hope part 3 isn't that jarring.

x-- 7/10 --x A really well made and simple RPG. Loved the inspiration and little easter eggs.

After playing the first two episodes, I can recommend it, but just barely. The setting is cool and the story and characters have potential. It feels like a lot of work went into creating the Lower City and the little scenes and interactions within. I even thought it was a real Japanese RPG at first, something Western-made "JRPGs" usually can't pull off. You only have about 6 hours of gameplay for the two episodes combined, for what feels like it wants to be a big 40 hour RPG. So we're still at the beginning, and I'm intrigued enough to keep going. But if Episode 3 doesn't improve from two in terms of gameplay, that'll be it for me. -Combat is just too slow. Every animation is too slow, enemies have too much HP, they always seem to attack first, and you're usually outnumbered. Now this gets a bit better by the end as you get quite a bit stronger, but the beginning you need to hit each wolf three times, and they'll be in groups of two or three while you're alone. That's 9 turns for a basic fight, if you don't miss. That's 9 enemy attacks you have to sit through just to beat the first wolf, then 6 for the second, then 3... 18 attacks in total. 27 attack animations including yours, fo…

A surprising development from the first game, it keeps getting better.
