The general take
David Rosenthal is genuinely enthusiastic about Sea of Stars as a Chrono Trigger-style indie RPG, but his real excitement comes from it being a game that connected with his four-year-old daughter—he describes handing her the Steam Deck as "the most incredible experience." He clearly sees it as both a solid old-school RPG in its own right and something special for its ability to work across generations.
