I can't believe it, but Angeline Era releases in TWO DAYS!! Testplayers are calling it the "Action-Adventure Game of the Era".

Little Fairy can't wait to meet you. As well as a mysterious ship, and your mighty Goat mount.

more games where you play as some weird animal and acquire non-human experiences
