Sept. 2025

I would say I rarely play card games. So playing a narrative card game makes me think I will have the same feeling but this one proves I'm wrong. This is not your usual pick a card and fight type of game, this is one where you can make choices, mix stuff and explore the possibilities at your own pace. The game narration is perfect, I myself couldn't even think that PNGs on cards can make me feel and imagine as they were talking and doing other stuff. Also, it is pretty obvious that this game is really charming, the artsyle and the music combined altogether makes me feel like I'm in for an adventure. I even bought the artbook and the soundtrack after I played the game because it is just too good that it inspires me. One thing I have to point out is the inability to skip some dialogues in the game because if you are going to do another run of the game, skipping everything will prove useful. All in all I really like the game and I hope the developers make another charming game like this. Oh and I love the Shoebill main character.

How would I describe this game? It's a mix of a card game, an RPG, an adventure game, and a resource management game. None of its gameplay styles go very deep individually but they come together to make a fairly robust video game experience. Most of the gameplay comes down to figuring out what to do to proceed in each mission alongside obtaining resources to deal with any problems along the way. Some of this stuff got repetitive for me on the backhalf of the game but nothing too bad. As I got into the second and third chapter of my playthrough, I got a better intuition on how to maximize my resources and how to solve puzzles. I like how dynamic some scenarios are in how you can solve problems in differing ways. The art and world is pretty cool. For my playthrough, I took a pretty dark path down the story so the narrative was always very tense and captivating. I like a lot of these anthropomorphic designs. I also like seeing non-common species of animal get the spotlight, like the main character Volepain being a shoebill stork. One of the early allies you can get is an elephant and later on there's a budgie, too. Glad the dev team went with some lesser represented cartoon animals instead of just cats, dogs, wolves, etc. The music was pretty good, too. After awhile its maritime melodies got stuck in my head. I have mixed feelings on the narrator because I didn't find them too entertaining and found their quips to be on the cheesy side but at the same time the game would have been a little too quiet without them? Enjoyed this one.

This game is fun, it encourages you to think creativly and find specific ways of solving a problem. There are multiple ways to get to a solution, but as you play you find that there were better ways to acomplish your goal. Fun RP game with simple mechanics

June 2025

This game allows for you to explore all the different kinds of interactions each card has with each other, and because this game has so many different interactions, each play through has its own unique challenges. Exploring and unlocking requires strategy, preparation, and sometimes even the right choices. I even often find myself wanting to go back and reconsider a choice I've made in the past. What could make this game better would be giving each character their own voice lines. I also would have loved more opportunities to gain more skill cards, or even be able to choose a loadout of skill cards and supplies before a mission.

Nov. 2024

I have a lot more hours of play than what steam knows, because offline play on Steam Deck is not accounted for. An excellent game, original, gorgeous, fun... However, it's not for everyone. If you want a good ending, you need to make the right choices. If you want to make the right choices, you need to make bad choices first to learn. In the end, a complete run is quite long, gets somewhat repetitive despite various welcome mechanisms which help you take shortcuts after a while. At times, it can be hard, punishing. And in the very end, I had to consult a walkthrough because I had gotten everything right except one thing, so just when I thought I had finished it at last, I had to to yet another run. Overall I still think of this game as some kind of masterpiece, and am really looking forward any new game on this principle, maybe with an easier way to jump from a timeline to another, like in visual novels such as 999 which let you skip segments when you already played them with the same parameters.
