Good lord, they're 70% legs. That's not necessarily a bad thing (depending on your fetish), but it is a pretty distinctive art choice.

Maybe they are horses just in human shape ?

 

[Carnifex]

This sounds truly fascinating, a rich story with turn based combat, and maybe the mentioned dialogue means some serious choice and consequence opportunities? I'll be keeping both eyes peeled for this!

 

[Telstar]

this one looks good.

 

[Couchpotato]

Yeah looks good but I'm not seeing much RPG. Looks like a walking simulator crossed with a Castlevania game. Otherwise known as a Metroidvania. Prove me wrong.

Legs and bewbs, might be ok?
