While puzzle-solving takes center stage, the game's combat system also earns positive reviews. Players describe the combat as fluid and challenging, requiring careful timing of attacks and dodges. The customization options for conduit skills and equippable gear and charms allow participants to tailor their playstyle, whether focusing on melee, spellcasting, or a balanced approach.

❤ Rewarding Progression and Exploration

As players unlock new regions of the alpine town, each with distinct environmental themes and corresponding magical abilities, the game encourages revisiting earlier dungeons to discover new paths and secrets. Reviewers highlight how this sense of progression and exploration contributes to the overall experience, blending the core dungeon-crawling with opportunities for side activities and socializing with the town's residents.

❤ Narrative Integration

Surprisingly, many reviewers praise the way the gameplay systems integrate with the narrative. The protagonist's personal growth and relationships with Hinterberg's citizens add meaningful context to the dungeon-crawling, with the balance between exploration and town activities seen as a well-executed blend of gameplay styles.
