US Steam price, checked 2 h ago

The verdict

A charming hand-drawn 2D souls-lite with great art and Geralt's voice narrating, but clunky combat, iffy hitboxes and repetitive backtracking. Skip it if you hate jank.

Great for

Fans of cute dark fairy tales and short pattern-learning 2D boss fights, played on normal difficulty

Main risk

Clunky combat with unfair hitboxes and no i-frames, plus mandatory repetitive backtracking quests

What players love

Gorgeous hand-drawn art style

Mentioned in ~1 in 2 positive reviews

“One of the only games where a bunch of the hours I have on it is just me going around the map and looking at the artistic scenery and characters while listening to the soundtrack.”
