What goes wrong
- "Accessibility" options that are so inadequate they're like a slap in the face. The worldbuilding and art style are gorgeous, which makes it all the more shamefu [...] s more on player fatigue...
I find it painfully boring and the initial story doesn't make me care about the main character at all.
There's some cool mechanics and ideas here but the controls just aren't good enough to make a lot of the stuff presented feasible in a fun or motivating way.
Too many hours for the small amount of content.
Game freezes every 20 minutes or so requiring the process to be ended and restarted.
What goes well
