— a player, Steam review · 8 hrs played“Fun and very enjoyable Zelda like game. Developer team has put a lot of effort into crafting the world and puzzles and it shows. Played through game native so play time is off but it took about 20 or so hours. Fully recommend - it will scratch that Zelda itch nicely.”
— a player, Steam review · 88 hrs played“Do you like Links Awakening? Minish Cap? Pipistrello and the cursed Yoyo? Then you should play this game. It has fun dungeons and some honestly unique puzzle items and uses for old items that make you go, "Man that is neat more people should do that."”
