The verdict
A janky but charming King's Field/Morrowind-style first-person RPG with great music and secret-filled exploration. Skip it if you need polish, good performance, clear direction or tight combat.
Great for
Fans of Morrowind, King's Field, Lunacid and Dread Delusion who enjoy getting lost and hunting secrets
Main risk
Poor performance and amateurish level and combat design in a game that is now at 1.0
