Wonderful hidden gem of an independent RPG

I am unsure how I discovered this, a wonderfully crafted ARPG compelled by pinpoint writing, but am thoroughly glad I did. It satisfies all the yearnings of the genre, without overdoing one in contrast to another - a true sum of its component parts. There is exploration, crafting, fighting, light puzzle-solving, world-saving — all there, almost as an addendum to the beautifully structured storytelling which, I feel, is it’s main strength. Something that happened almost imperceptibly, as I continued through the game, was the progression its various elements, which, as I said, were almost subservient to the experience as a whole. Although the movement choice is not of my preference, of the point/hold and drag variety (instead of a joystick/d-pad), and the battles somewhat rudimentary (highlight an enemy and fighting ensues, somewhat slowly, with a hot-bar providing numerous buffs/special attacks at your disposal), they certainly suffice, especially since the game almost feels like it is meant to be played for the story and narrative and exploration foremost. Despite loathe to make comparisons, I was reminded of the remake of The Bard’s Tale, not only with the witty, concise writing, yet in the slightly angled top-down viewpoint and world map which has numerous locations into which you can wander. With the latter, each individual area is expansive enough to compel extensive investigation, with useful items to be found throughout, some side quests of unique variety (with a handy checklist detailing how many are available) and more often than not a dungeon to delve into or a puzzle or two to solve. As regards the former, the writing is excellent, humorous and detailed, a narrative distinct unto itself involving unique, obscure characters along for the ride, with many references to other art forms prevalent, and each individual NPC possesses an identity strictly their own. This simply feels like a labour of love, by developers who understand the genre for all that it can offer and the narrative possibilities therein.

Edit: I have progressed through the game, and reiterate what I have previously expressed: the writing and narrative is wonderful and complex, the gameplay is thoroughly enjoyable, and anyone who wants to experience a full-fledged adventure would be wise to purchase this game. What a fun journey I have had, and utter praise to the developers.

A great port of a great game.

Played this when the original version was released on Steam some 6 years ago.
This is an Enchanted version with many improvements.
It is great for mobile gaming as you can save your game progress at any time.
The only negative I have with the iOS version is that it is tap to move rather than having a virtual joystick. This may or may not be a game breaker for you.
I would class the game as a casual rpg adventure.
You can give the first chapter, about 3-4 hours game time, a go for free with the whole game costing just a few bucks and no iaps.
