Do not buy unless you're a 12yo girl
Art style is a mix of W.I.T.C.H. and My Mini Pony, characters and dialogues might very well be ripped off from Twilight, Life is Strange, or some other moody/edgy/cringy teen drama.
Dialogues are voiced like a The Sims game.

That said, the gameplay is very similar to that of Bejeweled, where you move tiles of the same colour together to fire up a combo and hit your enemies. Very simplistic, and doesn't show any sign of change throughout the first half of the game (where I ultimately gave up). I guess that's all there is to it.

Also, you spend much more time reading edgy/cringy teenager stereotypical dialogues (written by a 13-15 year old girl) than actually playing the game.
I swear!
I guess their goal was to give the player the feeling of actually doing something more than just moving around coloured tiles, but in the end the story is sooooooo boring and banal that I couldn't wait for the next dungeon.

Looks like someone got the game but needs to leave a hateful post so that his schoolmates won't hurt his fragile masculinity. Definitely a 12yo who wrote this.

The light theme in both dialogues and art style is obvious from the trailer. If you bought it then it means it got you interested. There is nothing wrong with that, you have the full right to enjoy such topics and making sexist posts to pretend you don't riducules you for anyone who is more than 13-15 year old.

Nope, got for FREE on the Epic Store.
Didn't plan to buy it.
Not a 12 year old anything.
Where did you get the "fragile masculinity" trope from? Watching too much feminist propaganda, perhaps?
"Light" is one thing. *This* is something else. It's about the characters and how they behave/react to situations.
Disney movies for kids like Lilo&Stitch have "light dialogues", this one is a serious downgrade of the Twilight saga.
Now, maybe the Twilight saga being written by girls for girls might be debatable, for you, but to me it's patent.

I'm a 39 year old man, and I pretty much loved this game.

To quote CS Lewis, "When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up"

I got to read the prologue and the story idea was nice as far as i remember it.
I actually enjoyed the story more than the gameplay.
I do need to be in the mood for games like this however.

There could have been more and the gameplay isn't making me play it a second time anytime for a long time I guess, but I don't agree with the boy or girl argument.

I also think back then I wasn't to fond of the price for what I got, but that's all.

jokes on you I'm an 18 yr old guy and I loved this game

that feeling when you're stuck on the second chamber. the art, characters and story is amazing so far and i'm literally 20 and i'm hooked on this game

Another 39 year old guy here, and I am fully enjoying this game so far. I've always loved the idea of alternate worlds and what it would be like to meet an intelligent non-human race. So yeah, this checks all the boxes for me.
