“Fantastic, impressively unique game, 9/10 for me. Reminds me of FromSoftware's King's Field. Start, just training, get killed anytime to begin the true game. Save at the desk with the red quill. Whenever there are dark crows with a glowing red cross, read the message ! Anywhere…”
— a player, Steam review · 20 hrs played“This game is actually awesome when you stop playing it like Dark Souls and start playing it like Silent Hill”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“It always sucks to leave a bad review on such a cool looking game, but I think it's a necessary evil. This game has a really strong sense of style.
