However, an unwanted encounter leads him to experience dark and enigmatic events. The Moto Edge 30 Pro took courage and volunteered to test this free to play (for now only in English)which we detail in this review so you don’t suffer a scare!
A not so pleasant trip
Kyung-leea student from seoul (South Korea) decides to go on vacation to a rural town to see his grandmother and rest from his studies. However, upon arrival he realizes that there are few people his age in the place, so he suspects that there will not be much fun around. For this reason, he chooses to go out and explore the surroundings a bit to meet and have fun, but a few meters from a mountain he runs into a spectral presence that questions him about his family lineage and offers him a deal that involves possession, in addition to rare events. .
The boy’s task is to investigate what happens in that place and why he has had to live those strange experiences.
ask without fear
The system of this video game is based on graphic novel-type dialogues, which arise and develop based on the options we choose. Each alternative has a different impact not only on the story of the main character, but on that of the rest of the participants, and consumes a kind of tickets that are replenished by watching ads or through microtransactions.
As controls, there is only the possibility to tap on the touch we want to do between the various variants.
As you progress, different collections within the title are completed: photo album, diary, character profiles and music playlists.
A story with two directions
As a favorable aspect, what stands out the most in this product is undoubtedly the plot, which over time becomes increasingly captivating and enigmatic, with paths that change according to our decisions. Another point in favor is the art, which is presented with hand-made designs, well polished in the pseudo cinematics or in the dialogue balloons (a bit of quality is lost in the scenarios). The protagonists have well-defined personalities, which makes us more or less fond of them.
As for the negative, the factor of tickets takes away dynamism and sometimes it becomes tedious to have to watch ads to continue. From time to time, there are some typos in the conversations, but nothing too serious. The music and sound effects don’t stand out much, but for an independent game they provide the necessary climate to produce tension or fear.

Conclusions
The Ancient Legacy It fulfills what it promises: a story full of suspense, with variable paths, characters with marked characters and designs that set the plot’s progress in a good way. The pay or see factor ads to advance it becomes somewhat tedious and slow, but with a little patience you can have a pleasant experience. However, for an indie game, with things to improve and free, it is not even close to being a horror game. Are you brave enough to accompany Kyung-lee in your stay?
