I really don’t know what happened here, but this rework just plays bad. It doesn’t feel like the same game at all anymore, and honestly… wtf? I’m not even trying to be overly harsh, but this is genuinely disappointing. I really hope someone eventually picks up the old version and continues it as a fan project, because what we have now just isn’t it.

I can barely recognize the game anymore. The atmosphere, the tone, the overall feel it’s like everything that gave it charm has been stripped away. Before, there was a certain identity to it that made it stand out, but now it just feels generic and disconnected. It’s not just bad. it’s different in a way that completely misses what made the original enjoyable.

The characters are a big part of the problem. In version 0.2.1, they don’t feel like the same people at all. Their personalities seem off, their interactions feel forced or inconsistent, and it’s like they’ve been rewritten into something unrecognizable. Instead of building on what was already there, it feels like the story has been reset into something entirely different and not in a good way. I’ve seen others point this out too, so it’s definitely not just me.

Graphically, it honestly feels like a downgrade, which is surprising for a rework. I still have the older version backed up, and putting them side by side just makes the issues even more obvious. The new visuals lack the same polish and style that the original had ( looking straight up ugly). Things feel off less expressive, less immersive, and in some cases just plain worse(like the average phone Gatcha). Even the way the game starts now feels awkward compared to before, like it lost that strong first impression.

Another thing that really bothers me is how the fey are handled now. Making them more common completely kills the sense of mystery they used to have. Before, they felt rare, special, and intriguing something you wanted to learn more about. Now they just feel like another standard race living alongside everyone else, which makes the world feel a lot less unique and magical. It’s a big shift that takes away more than it adds.

Overall, this rework feels like it lost sight of what made the game engaging in the first place. Instead of improving or refining the original experience, it replaces it with something that feels weaker in almost every aspect story, characters, visuals, and world building.

Really disappointed to see it going in this direction. 

Trying to become something its not and was never meant to be just really disappointing.

Nothing to say anymore, I do not support the direction its going at at all.
