Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Like Spire, it has great replayability and its strategy can go very, very far, although it clearly doesn't reach the same level of polish in terms of content and gameplay.
41 of 204 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The story does a good job at slowly unveiling itself as you play, with the occasional image and short cutscene.

Originally, I'd bought this game knowing that it was flawed simply because I adored the art style and was hoping the dev would one day fix it.

- Great (sadly short) piano soundtrack, that compliments the atmosphere very well.

The art direction is really elegant, from the character art to the interface.
