For
Players drawn to tactical RPGs and illustrated fantasy worlds
Worth noticing
A party of four is chosen from nine characters; the tutorial teaches the margin and gold-leaf mechanics on a five-by-five board.

Field notes

The tutorial gives keyboard controls: arrow keys to move, G for Gold Leaf, and Enter to end a turn. The page says the party carries between chapters; its dated notes describe chapter three opening and a northern tower row being repainted after ink damage. Other chapters are shown as charcoal sketches, so the full seven-folio scope is not presented as complete.
