Their interactions help establish warmth and sincerity throughout progression while making the larger mystery feel personal rather than distant.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art, character design, and *especially* animation, which was evidently drawn by hand, is wonderfully done, with beautiful backgrounds that add life to both the Irish setting and the fantasy world Clonfira, unique and sometimes frightening designs for Clonfira’s flora and fauna, and design that makes the small cast of characters emotive and endearing (and the voice acting’s pretty good, too).
