Dec. 2024

Rating: 8/10 This game has the perfect mix of simple but satisfying combat and a beautifully designed world. The world is absolutely stunning, with every corner filled with gorgeous, spooky detail. The characters are full of personality, from the sassy ghosts to the ones who clearly just need a nap. If you want a game that’s as fun to look at as it is to play (and die in), this is the afterlife for you!

Dec. 2024

wonderful metroidvania with great art, music and exploration. The translation isn't great at times but it still manages to have charming characters and a pretty cool story :D Definitely recommended if you enjoy other metroidvanias

Sept. 2024

Nice metroidvania game, unique style and not soooo hard as hollow knight but still enjoyable.

March 2024

I'm bummed that it's over. Fantastic metroidvania that's very much inspired by Hollow Knight but with adjustable difficulty. It's clear that this was made by fans of the genre. The bugs in negative reviews have been addressed. I 100% the game and encountered no glitches.
