Our take on Samsa and the Knights of Light
Rather than centering a conventional heroic champion, the game places a strong but lazy demon at the story’s center. Work, reputation, and dating sit alongside fighting, replacing a purely combat-led RPG structure with broader choices about how the protagonist lives and is remembered.
