I had purchased this game (yes, purchased, not got in some Key Collection) for 99 cents cause I thought "oooh, Indonesian, that seems pretty cool". This is a weird one.

The game opens with "Logo". Yes, "Logo". That's not the developer's name. That's not the publisher's name. That's definitely an oversight, since the game didn't immediately strike me as an ironic RPG. It also seems that the F12 key, my steam key for snapshots, is apparently a control to change the video settings from "Fullscreen" to "Windowed". Doing so not only does not work, but will cause your game to reboot. The options menu, ingame, is similarly nonfunctional. Anyway, if you use alt+enter to force a fullscreen or windowed mode, you will get 640x480 resolution which is not changeable, bummer.

The person doing the localization seriously had a thing for using triple exclamation points. I guess because they're awesome!!! And you should do it too!!! Sorry if I'm coming off as a jerk!!! I don't mean to!!! Dialogue is really goofy, but I can tolerate it since the culture is different and the person doing the translation might be ESL themselves.

Music is nice, as is the setting and premise.

The amount of random encounters while trekking out in the overworld is insane. It should ideally be once every 30 steps, not once every 3-7 steps. At least there's the classic option to escape.

I got all the way up to the part where the protagonist's father left for the city, and you have to follow him or he'll be "upset".

I must say I disappointed you, Father. For I saved the game and then went to bed.If it had more polish I'd probably play this to the end, or at least more than a third of an hour. Given how it's a 2016 game that feels straight outta 2006, I don't think have that assurance. As such, proceed with caution and tell me how it goes if you make it further than I did.
