This aspect basically the only interesting aspect of this game, and all good things about this game end here. The game falls short due to dated visuals, buggy gameplay, and lackluster presentation.

The graphics are notably subpar, resembling a PS3 game, and the storytelling relies on moving stills with voiceovers, contributing to an overall lack of quality presentation. The gameplay, structured as a third-person action experience, suffers from clunky mechanics and various game-breaking bugs, with some issues requiring multiple restarts to address. Despite the promise of altering the narrative through choices, the game struggles to fully capitalize on this unique aspect.

Larian Studios embraced the complexities of D&D's 5th Edition, creating a game that felt akin to playing the tabletop version virtually, for better and for worse. The vast world, intricate systems, and captivating storytelling that come with the experience of D&D are promised, resonating with long-time fans and newcomers alike.

Slice-of-life turned romantic fantasy against a 90’s Indonesian backdrop | A Space for the Unbound

A Space for the Unbound is the story of a boy and a girl — both with supernatural powers — in a slice-of-life turned fantasy romance adventure against a 90’s Indonesian backdrop. A nice change of setting from the usual Japanese-themed similar works of art, like the popular Makoto Shinkai Anime movies Your Name and Weathering with You, all embodied in video game format.
