Top tier writing and world-building. Extremely believable and likeable characters, esp. loved the friendship progression between the main char an who seemed at first as a random npc (no spoilers). My critiques would be some puzzle-fight sections (personal gripe) and that some lore is just there, with no gameplay reflection (reading books on dangerous creatures that you don't encounter for example). Love me a bleak story with elements of human kindness and happiness.

I really enjoyed the well thought-out story in this game, and as a bonus you get to play different characters and hear their perspectives on events. I'd also say the description of this being a slow burn game is accurate - for me, it was more about running around talking to people and taking my time, rather than trying to move on the to next step quickly. Note that you are kinda thrown into the story without much explanation and then have to read dialogue or books to understand the context and background. I personally like this way of starting from zero knowledge, and it's been a while since I played a game like this. On a similar note, there is no tutorial for controls etc, but if you played any turn-based games before you should have no issues. Other than that, I enjoyed the music and the old-school graphics. Also, when I ran into a bug, it was kindly fixed after I posted about it. That was better responsiveness than I expected for a 4-year old free, single developer game and was much appreciated.

I love the dialogue, world building, and characters this game has to offer. I have had a lot of fun in this game. However I just can't recommend it. Making progress is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ difficult. You never know where your supposed to be, what your supposed to do, and 90% of the time you don't even know what your current mission is. I have been stuck in derva so long I have memorized the dialogue of every single npc in the part of Derva I can access. I have spent hours going into every building, interacting with every single object (Even ♥♥♥♥ like plates), and interacting with every single npc over and over again, and haven't made a single bit of progress. I am not playing this game. I am fighting it tooth and nail for even the slightest amount of progress. Even when I do make progress, I quickly find myself stuck for another few hours. Happened in Rose, and it is now happening in Derva. I have currently played this game for about 6 hours in total. For probably around 4 if not more of those hours I have been stuck doing the same ♥♥♥♥ over and over trying to make even the slightest amount of progress. This game has so much good in it, and so much potential. However, I'll never get to s…
