What players think
The recurring themes across 43 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The Library itself feels lively, with characters to talk to and books to read that expand on the world’s lore.
TL;DR: A visually stunning 2D Metroidvania with an engaging, customizable spell-combat system and beautifully designed environments.
Gameplay and controls are surprisingly great, genuinely nothing to complain in regards to the movement itself about which is great when playing a platformer.
Ariana's 3D model also blends in with the Book Art Style really well.
Voice acting appears in the more important moments, which helps bring key scenes to life.
👍 Quite high level of polish and care overall (interface, assets, effects, flavor text, lore)
