The Steam listing for the game describes it as:

While I'm not a major gamer by any stretch of the imagination, I can still see myself picking up this game at some point this month to satisfy my curiosity and game buying addition for one more month. I have no idea when I'll find the time to play it, but sometimes just owning the thing is enough.
For the longest time, I considered Record of Lodoss War the gold standard when it came to high fantasy adventures. And while I'm not quite sure that I still feel the same way about Record of Lodoss War, one thing remains the same: my love for Deedlit. You never forget your first anime elf and she was mine.
Deedlit is one of those characters that you never really forget. Strong, supportive, loyal, but still mischievously curious, which sometimes gets her in trouble. Deedlit is as close to a perfect example of an anime elf as I've ever seen in any remotely fantasy anime series since I started watching.
