### 5/5 — Childhood game

*2026-06-25, version 2.0.2*

This game is amazing I remember playing it when I was like 5 and it’s better then I remember! I hope you guys keep making peak games like this, and I will keep this game forever😭❤️

### 5/5 — 10 year fav

### 5/5 — Great story game

*2026-06-14, version 2.0.2*

Even happier when I saw we can use Xbox controller for this game

### 4/5 — Game is extremely entertaining to play.

*2026-06-10, version 2.0.2*

It’s so entertaining that I wanted to see how far I could get in the game while capped at level 10- something you used to be able to do. I guess that’s one of the “optimizations” they’ve made. It’s frustrating, and they do NOT make it clear that you won’t be able to continue playing after reaching level 10 during every one of the reminders the game gives you. Otherwise, it’s fantastic.

### 5/5 — Amazing Game

### 5/5 — My favorite game

*2025-11-14*

Please add Orsi to the Dark Harvest mode! And let me get all the tarot cards there, not just those up to level 61! It's an amazing game, with so much untapped potential! I wish there were more different bosses and monsters! Thank you! I hope you make a sequel someday!
