You guide the Scythian, a wandering warrior monk, through a mythic mountain wilderness on a mysterious errand. The story unfolds through encounters with strange characters and places, leaving some events open to interpretation.
Explore the landscape, examine and interact with its details, and travel between locations. Sword combat is occasional and calls for well-timed attacks and defense rather than complex fighting systems.
Use sworcery to uncover clues and solve environmental and musical puzzles. Real-world moon phases influence certain events, adding a timing element to the journey.
Players who enjoy the game often single out its pixel art, soundtrack, and atmospheric audiovisual style, along with its unusual mix of exploration, puzzles, and light combat. Some also appreciate its quirky, mysterious storytelling. Other reviewers find the walking and backtracking slow, the puzzles or story cryptic, and the computer controls awkward.
