The combat is frequently described as "Souls-like", emphasizing careful observation of enemy patterns and precise timing of dodges and parries. While the game, especially the formidable boss encounters, can be quite challenging, players report a strong sense of satisfaction from overcoming these obstacles. The core mechanic involves summoning the spirits of fallen knights to fight on Lily's behalf. These spirits have diverse attack patterns and abilities, allowing you to mix and match them to create your ideal fighting style. Managing the limited uses of certain spirits adds an additional layer of strategy.

❤ Atmospheric World-Building and Storytelling

The game's dark fantasy setting and ruined kingdom of Land's End are brought to life through beautifully hand-drawn environments and a haunting, melancholic musical score. The narrative is told in a fragmented, "Souls-like" manner, with you piecing together the lore and tragic backstories of characters through collectible notes, items, and interactions. This approach encourages exploration and discovery, as you're motivated to uncover the mysteries of the fallen kingdom. Many reviewers praise the game's ability to create a strong sense of atmosphere and emotion, with the somber tone and thematic exploration of despair and redemption resonating strongly.
