short and sweet. Art is gorgeous and the attention to details on what players would do (burning everything) is refreshing. The moves and aiming system is bit janky esp when throwing daggers but overall the on-the-rails gameplay and storytelling makes up for it. Great way to spend a quality 3 hours.

This is a short game, it took me 2.6 hours to beat but with that considered I would give it a 7.4 out of 10. Cool art style, decent gameplay. Slightly tricky gameplay, nothing too hard but still fun. I look forward to playing the sequel one day. Also if you have a super ultrawide monitor (32:9), it worked perfectly fine and supports that aspect ratio.

If you love indie side scrollers, grab this bargain whilst its on sale now! It is easy to pick up, decent skills tree that is fairly easy to max out and the game itself is challenging enough in certain areas, without being too repetitively difficult to keep you engaged. Plays lovely on the Steam Deck! Expecting any proceeds to this game will go into the sequel which is likely much longer.

Excellent game without overcomplications. It's quite short, I've completed it in 2 hours and got 100% achievement in 2.5 hours. Sometimes you just need game like this that doesn't require 40+ hours just for main campaign
