›Story

Step into an oriental fantasy realm inhabited by humans, beastlings, and majestic dragons. After a golden age spanning thousands of years, the bustling metropolis of Bluescales now faces tumultuous times. Here, magic and technology coexist, complicating social governance. To further stir the pot, the secret art behind ancient miracles—presumed long lost—is resurfacing. Beneath the city's clamor, a storm unlike any other is quietly brewing...

A long, long time ago, there lived a wolf, a fox, and a snake. But these weren’t just your ordinary wild animals. They were very patient and wise, and after a lot of hard work, they gained human form and became "beastlings", as they liked to call themselves. Now, let's meet our heroes:

Reception

Threefold Recital received "generally favorable" from critics, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Genghis Husameddin, from XboxEra, rated the game an 8, adoring the pleasant visuals and music as well as its frequent use of mini-games to pace progression, but disfavors that some of the "information presented can be a bit confusing".

VICE's Shaun Cichacki gave Threefold Recital a "Recommended" rating, praising "the high-quality art, cutesy style and plenty of tough but necessary conversations", but feels that "some of the translation feels a little stiff and off".
