I finished the demo. And I was mesmerized by the setting.
There is a lot to like:
- The maps are beautiful, and the main city is breathtaking.
- The mystery is just the right mix of what the F is going without being overly creepy (yet?) and kept me going wanting to unravel this crazy thing.
- Some of the side quests are well done, especially Dorothea's; I felt very invested in needing to know how it ends (unfortunately the demo ended before I got the conclusion).
The battle system felt like a standard RPG Maker battle system, and I found the battles to be more on the harder side. (Meanwhile other gamers felt the battles were easy).
I hope the writing will be more engaging in the future releases and characters become more likeable. Currently, there is a whole lot to read.
All in all, the game feels of commercial quality with cool graphics, custom art, and a whole lot of WTF is going on with this mystery.
