    Game is really fun. There is lot of content (15+ hours) and the developer is responsive and helpful.

    Just bad. Not worth the $15. And if you criticise it

    Just bad. Not worth the $15. And if you criticise it online, the dev seems to like to tell you you're playing the game wrong and that's the issue (not the game itself, of course). The game dumps you into the start with a lot of unexplained mechanics and a confusing storyline. The start of the game allows you to soft lock the game where you can't pick up the first character behind what appears to be an unwinnable fight (crow), and there is not a real indication of what switch is triggered to cause it. Had to start completely over to fix it. Switch port controls are buggy and cause a lot of unintended inputs. Screen transitions are rough and music cuts with no fading, textures overlap etc. Generally, the game just lacks a lot of polish.

    Later in the game, I inadvertently glitched a dream sequence and ended up with too many characters in my party for a specific section. Then in an unavoidable scene after the dream, you pick up another character. The game glitched and shuts down because it can't handle a fourth character. Don't feel like backing up to where the glitch happened and starting over again to undo the glitch, so I'll probably just stop playing. This game really needed to go back to development for fine tuning and reconsidering the opening of the game to provide more info to the player when they start (rather than resorting to posting a guide to the first section online).

    Writing is rough. The game takes inspiration from Chrono Trigger, but some of the scenes feel like forced derivative (court scene). Lots of spelling errors.

    The art is neat, but the rest of the game is too rough to enjoy it. The dev blaming the players is enough of a turn off to avoid this one.
