✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's charming art style, cute character designs, quirky personality, and excellent music, but report serious technical issues including frequent crashes when clicking on certain in-game elements that prevent sustained gameplay. While the game shows promise with its appealing visuals and story potential, the stability problems are significant enough that some players have refunded it despite their initial interest.
At the current state of the game, I have to say I can not recommend it and had to refund it in the end. I think it sounds interesting and fun. I was very curious where the stories would take me. I like the quirky character designs too, very cute. I wanted so badly to enjoy this game. Anyways, I don't write reviews often so don't mind my messy writing, sorry. Plus points: quirky, cute character designs. the stories (as far as i could read in their first appearances only sadly - more to that later) seem simple but charming in their own manner. I would have loved to explore them further. But unfortunately I had to ask for a refund and that is where we come to the heavy negatives. I rarely refund games or do long reviews at all... but I felt compelled since there were so little reviews in general on this one (which is understandable since it is relatively new).

Pretty game so far, the artstyle and music is nice and charming, I very much like the look of the characters I've been able to see. Gameplay wise Im sorta just wobbling through rolling dice with big number as seems thats my understanding. Unfortunately my play gets stopped multiple times in 30 minutes (And me not learning to start saving before clicking on any of the items) As clicking anything that isnt gold, a person, or dice augments causes the game to crash. First day so I know all too well some things just happen so I'll keep my paw up and check back on the game for sure for a real play.1 found this helpful
