Once a year, the Paintress wakes and paints upon her monolith. Paints her cursed number. And everyone past that age turns to smoke and fades away. Year by year, that number ticks down and more of us are erased. Tomorrow she’ll wake and paint “33.” And tomorrow we depart on our final mission - Destroy the Paintress, so she can never paint death again.

Every aspect of the game is so well crafted and curated!
Awesome story, unforgettable characters, not a single repetitve side quest, an amazing graphic and outstanding music.
Scratches that old school turn based Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger itch, but has the added dynamic of dodging and parrying during the enemy's turn. Beautiful.
This studio is crazy for how they release one of the best games in the decade as their first game as a studio.
I already have like 90 hours on Steam. If you like JRPGs, get it. If not, get it as well because the amount of people I've seen say it's their first and only liked JRPG is astonishing.
Game is definitely not perfect, it has its share of clunk, but the pros nullify the cons at this point.
I'm a masochist so I made the parry windows half the duration of the max difficulty (mods).
I wish I never played this game, because now most other turn based games will feel boring.
The best decision I made about this game was to ask for a refund for Baldur's Gate 3 and use the money to buy this game. It's cheaper, takes up less space, and has a story that connects more quickly than that other one.
It's also a title with a truly original story. For those of us familiar with Larian's other works, especially Divinity, BG3 seemed like a strange deja-vu.
I have already finished the game but decided to buy it here anyways because it's just THAT good.
Amazing story, great graphics, marvelous soundtrack and characters that are flawed and human. I don't trust anyone who doesn't cry at least five times with this game
