Evaluation

I am Setsuna launched on July 19, 2016 as a self-contained JRPG. The store description and developer communications describe a complete, standalone narrative experience — the story of Setsuna and her sacrifice — with no mention of post-launch content, DLC, expansions, or ongoing updates. The sole developer news post is the launch announcement itself, and there have been no subsequent posts of any kind. No DLC is listed for the game. With no post-launch content cadence, no announced future content, and no unreleased DLC, this is a game that shipped as a finished product in the tradition of classic JRPGs it was designed to honor.

About this game

This is the story of Setsuna; a young woman of incredible inner strength and the sacrifice she must make to save the people of her land.

The Island had a custom.
To maintain peace, once a decade, a sacrifice was offered to a fiend on the island.

However, one year, the fiend grew violent before the next sacrifice was due.
Those living on the island were afraid and tried to calm the fiend by offering a sacrifice; Setsuna, chosen because of her powers of enchantment.

Setsuna must leave with her safeguards for the farthest land, where the ceremony of sacrifice will be held.
