please add an option to enable toggle-run instead of holding the button down for controller, holding rs down hurts my wrists after…) If you are okay with a little chaos and things not making sense, this could be for you.Its a buggy mess, and has a barebones story, but otherwise is a dream RPG.Game is unique, and honestly fun if you like farming materials, progressions, exploration, etc, but at the same time it feels..Why it fits
Check it if you want action, rpg filtered by weird, single-player.
