I'm estimating I'm about 2/3 of the way through. I think it's a visually pretty game and well-made, but not a lot of depth to either the story or gameplay. I know you're on a quest to get three artifacts, or really just two since you get the first at the beginning, and along the way you're going through various environments like a dungeon, forest, etc. But (1) it's not emotionally investing enough for me to care, and (2) most of this is only apparent from the between-chapter text. The ambiance feels one-dimensional -- the dungeon didn't seem much more dismal than being out in the forest even though the character dialogue would suggest they're supposed to be very different. I also didn't get any sense of purpose or urgency to the gameplay. Hack up some skeletons, draw some boxes/planks to bridge gaps, collect green vials to level up the characters, rinse&repeat.
I'll definitely play through to the end -- it's not frustrating or "bad" in any way. I just expected more fun or at least more cleverness out of the "play three characters at the same time" gimmick.
