The game is rich in story, plot, suspense and then the typical fun of RPG. I like Indinera's gaming ideology for long and to see it without any stupid comments about sex and gender and without any over-sexualization of the whole game/graphics etc. It was a delight! I would pay twice the price for the game.

I liked this game a lot and think it's a pretty good example of how RPG maker games can still be a lot of fun. Without spoiling a lot of details, this is a pretty classic time traveling meets fantasy past story, with several characters being from the future and having to deal with the effects they're having with timelines in the past. There's some generic time traveling tropes that don't necessarily make this a compelling SCI FI story, but the game more than makes up for this with its design. A lot of the playable party characters might be a little generic in their characterizations but there's some charm to the writing and interactions with the characters that make me root for them and want to see the rest of the adventure through.
For a small RPG title this one is pretty meaty, I was able to play the game all the way through, completing all the side quests and finding all the hidden rooms with the help of a guide in about 19 hours. I wouldn't say that a ton of grinding is necessary, but if you absolutely can't stand grinding this may be a game to avoid. I think the game has a very good progression system that makes you characters slowly build in power, as well as a system that allows your attacks to deal more damage as you continually use them over time. There's a very wide range of abilities to use, and there's enough depth in here in terms of buffs and status effects to appreciate thinking tactically and learning how to strategize. I really enjoyed the battle system and it was probably the best part of the game. Again without spoiling, I also think the second half of the game comes together really nicely and I appreciated the ending and all of the story lines being wrapped up in a satisfying way.
If you've enjoyed some of the more combat heavy RPG maker titles I definitely recommend giving this game a chance, it very much reminded me of an old school 16 bit rpg, slowly acquiring new powers and making my characters stronger, grinding away to face the bosses which also provided a tough but fair challenge. Thumbs up!

I am 32 years old.
My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old.
When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing.
Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side.
With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.
After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.
Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.
Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.
Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.
Thank you.
