-Beautiful game
This is frankly the most glamorous and wonderful RPG I've played. The story is OK and I would really love to see more of it.
The gameplay is simple yet fun. And I like the characters. You get fond of them quite easily.
There are two aspects that carry this game. The Environment and the Freedom/Exploring.
The visuals are stunning especially for a Unity game. Props to the developers for such an amazing job.
On the other hand the Freedom that the game gives you is limited and progression feels extremely good once you start solving the puzzle and explore around every part of the map. It's very well done and feels just right.
The story and the world of the game is the only thing that needs more to them. There's so many hints around the game about towns and places that I wish I could explore. After playing the game and experiencing the ending, I only want more.
A sequel is most likely in the making, there's not really any information about this expect for some teasers on Twitter.
I believe the developers will expand this story and freedom further in a sequel if there will ever be one.

Its has been a good while since a game had the ability to make you feel emotional multiple times, well done. Its been a while where a game makes you feel not stupid by actually exploring and are rewarded with progress, well done again. Left me wanting more with all these wonderful characters and the world build for this game, triple well done.

Pretty nice writing, nice world building, gorgeous visuals, and immense cuteness of a tale. It brings challenge, but you can get help in witty dialogs. It is good to see that some studios are still able to remember how to tell a tale.
Highly recommended for those not of the dakkadakka/hack-and-slash/gorefeast cadre.

A really well scripted fable with a main character you really feel for. You are not strong, you are not wise, you are not a willing hero, and your race is viewed with contempt for its past coawardy, but reluctantly you become a little hero trying to save his loved one. Every character you meet is worth listening to and the story is a truly sad one.
This is a stealth game, where you have to avoid and elude your enemy rather than taking them head on, and you have to use some wit to get rid of your enemies, if possible. Running is another option.
I really enjoyed the tale, but unfortunately the intended sequel to bring some light to what has happened.

Fun game! You're a mouse trying to get back to his mousy wife. But before that, you gotta do a lot of fetch quests and solve some puzzles. Some you can complete immediately; while others you have to progress the story to complete.
You can find different pieces of outfits, and getting a complete outfit unlocks different dialogues and abilities. Don't be stingy with your money. There's enough throughout the game to buy any maps you don't find naturally and to ask for hints locating items that you're having trouble finding.
Stealth is required at the beginning of the game. Once you get the guard outfit, you can walk anywhere without being noticed, but you will be super slow. It's more fun to not rely on the guard outfit.
It's not really a satisfying ending, but it's good enough and leaves the story open to a sequel which was teased by the devs at the end of 2022.

Very casual game, not a lot of action. Many of the characters were enjoyable, but I wish you weren't confined to such a small map. I do recommend it only if you like stealth heavy gameplay & cute creatures.

6.5/10 A good-looking game with "Redwall" vibes to it. I expected the world to be much larger than it was, maybe the screenshots had deceived me but this is in some ways more like a metroidvania set in one location. Although it is set in one location it can be very confusing at times, especially if you forget to read something you've picked up or revisit characters. I'm not sure why you have to scroll down when you want to save to a file, also when saving and sleeping the game stutters a bit. The delay time when selecting an option in the menu also seems unnecessary. All that said, the game is worth checking out if anthropomorphic adventures with fun side characters and a main character looking to find their lost love is your jam. It is funny to me that the rats sleep with their weapon on top of them. Unfortunately, this appears to be a part 1, which was not to my knowledge before jumping in which I wish I had known.
