This game has a lot of potential. The combat, art style, animations, voice acting, music and the plot is relatively interesting but by the looks of it, these developers do not give me the impression that they are motivated to actually keep the updates rolling out (especially for a game that isn't really "large scale") because the last update was September the 11th 2025 and that was just localisation for 1 language and OST releases to Spotify. Now they've gone radio silent. I sort of understand the development life cycle of programming, testing, debugging, etc, but these inconsistent updates and the sheer scale of each update will turn people away from this game the moment they find out that they spent x amount of money on 1 chapter and the whole reason you're supposed to keep playing is "looping". The combat for me is the most enjoyable in this game despite it being a bit more of an RNG-fest but I get that it wasn't the main focus. I do hope that in the future these developers will consider making a roguelike/lite using these characters with the main focus being on the combat because I want more games like DD1 and DD2 with this type of artstyle and animation.1 found this helpful
Very fun and interesting game. Puzzles are a bit headache-inducing, since the game itself doesn't give you many answers, but once you manage to find the right sources online, it feels worth it for the experience the game gives you. Hopefully this game gets the support it needs to make its other chapters and hopefully the puzzles are reduced to being actually sesnible.1 found this helpful
Darkest Dungeon type of Fights. Puzzles are hard (that if you're not as brain cell deficient like I am). Your actions will matter during the story. Watch your sanity crumble while playing. If you are stuck, go to the guides because oh boy.... they sure are helpful (sometimes). Stay sharp because you will forget with a bullet to the head.
Spec ops the line meets Silent Hill. I'm not a fan of visual novel type of games but this game caught my attention with its theme and mistery. Take command of a private black ops team and enter a world where steel and nerve need relic and ritual to overcome forces of terrifying darkness. Will you trust others in this endeavor? Or can you only trust yourself? Lock and load then off you go, Commander.
Good game with nice voice acting, I liked it. A soul was definitely put into this and the developers are very welcoming on Discord. [b]Non-spoiler[/b] warnings for those who are interested: 1. The game contains puzzle(s) which are unsolvable via in-game content (30 hours wasn't enough to find a clue at least). 2. If you want to get all of the achievements legitimately, the game will most likely become very monotonous, because for each unique scenario you basically have to play through the whole game whilst choosing specific options.
Game was really good, though I was flailing around trying to understand the conditions for a little while before I was able to get a grasp of the combat. Im excited to see Chapter 2
