❤ Innovative Gameplay Mechanics

The game utilizes players' smartphones as the control interface, with each player downloading a free companion app that serves as their character's portal into the game world. This allows for a unique couch co-op experience where players can interact with the game and each other in new ways.

❤ On-Screen and Off-Screen Interactions

The game cleverly separates certain gameplay elements between the main screen and the players' personal devices. Key character information, abilities, and secret thoughts are displayed on the players' phones, allowing them to make choices and take actions independently. Meanwhile, the shared TV/monitor screen shows the party's collective progress through the environments and battles. This creates an engaging dynamic where players must balance cooperative play with individual decision-making.

❤ Roleplaying and Dialogue

One of the standout features is the emphasis on roleplaying and dialogue. Players are encouraged to voice the lines of their characters, adding a fun improvisational element to the experience. The game also presents players with opportunities to keep information or choices secret from their party members, leading to an intriguing interplay of trust and deception.

❤ Tactical Turn-Based Combat

The turn-based combat allows players to carefully plan their moves and coordinate their party's abilities. Each character class has a unique set of skills and stats, requiring strategic thinking to overcome challenges. The lack of time pressure makes the battles feel more thoughtful and deliberate.

❤ Progression and Customization

As players adventure, they can upgrade their characters' equipment, skills, and abilities using a variety of in-game currencies. This progression system, combined with the ability to choose how to develop each character, gives players a sense of ownership over their party and investment in their success.

❤ Challenges and Room for Improvement

While the gameplay is widely praised, some reviewers have noted the user interface and controls can be clunky at times, and the lack of a minimap and occasionally confusing exploration segments can lead to frustration.
