Awards & Reviews

AGS Panel Rating

While the brooding atmosphere seems initially at odds with the JRPG-style graphics, they work well together while forming the basis of this smartly constructed tale.

Some great visuals and atmosphere in this MAGS game. Very catchy storyline but there is perhaps too much information to digest considering the length of game, as in a lot of characters but not enough character development. If game was remade a little more stretched out I think it would be great.
