"Serafina's Saga" Review

Publisher:  Woodsy Studios

Website:  http://woodsy-studio.com/vn/serafinas-saga-visual-novel/

Genre:  Visual Novel

Summary:  After her father is captured, Serafina ventures forth from the jungle for the first time in her life and must navigate a castle full of secrets and politics.

Gameplay:  Gameplay consists of decisions.

Style:  The art is not great, but it gets across the characters and locations.  The music is nice.

Story:  The land of Darnia is an interesting setting of nobles descended from gods.  Trying to navigate a newcomer like Serafina through these choppy political waters is an intriguing task.  Romance, on the other hand, is a bit more frustrating, given the inherent mistrust of the situation and a lack of interaction opportunities with some of the possibilities.  Still, there's a nice variety of romantic options.

Conclusion:  Serafina feels a bit rough around the edges in its art and its pacing, but it offers plenty of choices and a good story.
