I just finished this after picking it up on the recent sale. I also found it... well, enjoyable but also very mediocre.

Also, while adventure games being linear is definitely a thing, I must admit there was a time fairly early on in the game where I was really hoping for a faction split where you would choose who to work for. You get the ending choice obviously but I was really hoping that you would be able to make some sort of choice earlier on in the game. Bit of a shame that never happened.
I also thought the whole reaper myth was something that felt interesting in the scope of the world and I was pretty sad to see that all the neat mystical stuff was done away with and explained.

I dunno, I was really looking forward to Lamplight City before playing this. and... well, I guess I still look forward to it but both this and Golden Wake are... interesting but they are pretty far away from what I would call great or even good. Just sorta average and mediocre. Forgettable.

The music was fantastic though, really enjoyed that. Gave the game some character.

Speaking of which, the composer, who also composed Primordia's music, has recently released a Primordia-inspired album (the first in a series of three Primordia-inspired albums). I quite enjoyed it. You can listen here: https://bubblepipemedia.bandcamp.com/

Verdict: Decent, competent game. Not great, but not bad either.

My take as well. It was very focused on plot. Wish it had let the characters and world breathe a more. It probably would have benefited from another sidequest or some "new guy" exposition.

A big step up from his last game so I'm looking forward to see how his games progress.
