Not only Brahmana but also Azhdaha appears again in the game.
It is a 20 minutes short movie rather than JRPG game, though a very important turning point is waiting for the player.
Characters
- Cherubino
A poor boy living in a small village.
Cherubino didn't notice the real reason why local government is willing to give TV to poor families for free. And they usually turn on TV in the night because the electric charge for TV is free. They think TV can be used for a lamp in the dark. The point is that they are too poor to pay for the electric charge of a lamp.
For good or for evil, Cherubino was selected by Brahmana for his plan.
Why did Brahmana select Cherubino?
The answer is going to become clear in the ending.
- Brahmana
A key character in the game.
Brahmana talks to Cherubino through spiritual world but Cherubino doesn't see Brahmana with his eyes like a spiritual entity.
He is trying to do something good or bad by using Cherubino as one of his tools.
But his hidden attempt will not be in the light until the ending.

A wonderfully gritty, intimate, and beautifully poignant indie life-simulator that breathes fresh new life into the interactive narrative genre! Stepping into the worn-out shoes of an underdog struggling to escape systemic poverty and build a meaningful future from absolute scratch is every bit as emotionally gripping and tense as it sounds.The deliberately minimalist visual design and moody, rain-soaked environment layouts capture that magical, high-energy atmospheric dread flawlessly. What truly elevates the gameplay loop is the raw, choice-driven progression: balancing low-wage daily grinds with risky street opportunities, managing your tight survival budget, and making heavy moral choices creates an incredibly rewarding and frantic emotional workout.It is the absolute perfect, light-hearted yet existential single-player gem for testing your deductive reflexes, reflecting on social realities under pressure, and chasing a truly life-changing story finale—all for the grand price of dirt cheap! A brilliant, tightly contained narrative masterpiece that is a must-play for any fan of experimental indie dramas. Definitely recommended!2 found this helpful
Compared to the first two entries in the series, it is a bit underwhelming. The story and worldbuilding are much stronger in the first two games. The beloved Hee-chan is also missing unhappily. The absence of the series staple fixed camera angle puzzles was a disappointment. I look very much forward to future output, but I have to say that the prior works felt more inspired.

It's so slow! And you die very easily. And to very uninteresting deaths. No thank you, bye.
I really wanted to like this game, especially because it was free. But the tags for this "game" are completely wrong. It's more of a visual novel than an action or RPG. While I normally enjoy VN games, they usually have good grammar. The English grammar in this game is not the best. In addition, there's an entire section in German. I don't read or speak German so why is there an entire section of the game in that language?!?!
