“great presentation, the world literally unfolds around you as you move around and spell stuff, but it's paired with an unimpressive story, some really hard but mostly optional tower defense-like hive sections and bugs…”

“How have I never heard of this game until now? The gameplay is fun (apart from a couple puzzles that were a bit silly), and the story is told very well. It makes you put the pieces together along the way, and doesn't…”
“This game is AWESOME unless you can't type then you may find it fusterating I recommend anything that is specifically related to learn typing hey I failed typing 3 times and did the complete course from software and…”

“it's sortof whatever. It's not doing anything interesting in terms of typing games, and unfortunately doesn't have you type to move. So what you're left with is typing to interact and attack, while you have a story…”

“Ehh, it's a fine game if you just want something to plug away at and want your ego stroked for your typing skills. I wish it was focused more on typing sentances rather than arbitrary themed words. I'd also love, say, a…”
“It's not bad for an indie game but still carries somewhat of a 'fog' that smaller studios have where I couldn't tell if the game was actually broken or if some features were intentional.”

“This game is severely undercut by its lack of story telling skill. It's a visually stunning game, wildly creative, smooth, and very enjoyable to play. If I had to be specific though on the recommend I'd rate it a 3/5 with the knock really being for the delivery of the story…”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“So much more than a simple typing game. Beautiful writing and narration, lovely environments to explore. There are dungeon environments, puzzles, elemental damage swapping, treasures to find, this is a full on adventure. I found the ending and closing song beautiful and walked…”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“Id actually say it's a BIG MAYBE recommend. Really cute, cozy visuals with picture book, paper critters and environments. The movement isn't the best but you can eventually figure out how to maneuver. I love exploring each area but the map gets quite large as the game progresses…”
