- I knew nothing about this game going in, and only happened to play it when I saw it had been added to the Switch Online
- Didn’t realize how short it was and got through it (or maybe just the first loop?) the same day I started it.
- There was never an official English version of this game, but that doesn’t matter at all. You can get through the whole thing without knowing how to read moon rune
- That said, there does appear to be some kind of postgame, but it is unintelligible to me
- Basic gist of the game is that you will have to retrieve items requested by different characters, in little areas that you’re gated into. You do this by solving puzzles, and occasionally some combat. Like the tiniest possible version of a ‘metroidvania’.
- Each of the 3-4 room areas is discreet, there’s never a reason to do any backtracking once you’ve progressed
- Wonderful characters, music, and presentation, but other than that, it’s too-easy to the point of being kinda boring.
- However, this is perfect for my use case, which is practicing easier games with muh new arcade stick so I can hopefully one day git gud at shooters with it.
- Worth it to play for 30-45 mins to see if you like it, because if you do, there are three of these games available now, so you’ll have plenty to enjoy
