    Old school gameplay with a twist: check.

    This game looks SOOOOOOOOOOO cute!!! Thanks for doing a review of this. I enjoyed the Liar Prince despite some of the clunkiness in its platforming. The overall charm and well put together package carried the game and it looks like its similar with this one. Grab that physical copy now! Because if like the previous game, it will go up in price.

    Been looking forward to this game since it was revealed. I loved the game they made before this in the same art style ( the liar princess and the blind prince). Though the combat seems simple in this game it sounds like there is more than in the liar princess. The main appeal of these games is the art/story/music honestly.
    Thanks for reviewing it

    I feel like this was originally supposed to be a sequel to blind prince cuz a lot of the creatures are the same and the art style is too realized this game is a lot more fleshed out then blind prince ever was and it wasn’t the same genre really so they changed it. Just a theory though.
