Steam review snapshots
The dialogue is super pretentious, it has that Dark Souls / Bloodborne vibe but it happens pointlessly right out the gate I…I'm going to start with the cons first: Immediately, at the title screen, hitting Escape to start the game is just confusing…And so it is, it certainly looks interesting and possibly full of captivating lore, also the rhythm battle mechanic if well implemented…Loved playing the game, but yet as soon as I try to run it on an i7 laptop, it continuously crashes.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, free to play filtered by puzzle, story rich, single-player.
