The epilogue was missing, instead there was a comment urging readers to support the author's work on Patreon so they can make more games or finish this one. It is concerning to offer an incomplete product for sale, and to solicit financial support in this manner may be considered exploitative. - Occasional typos, notably one in a final choice which ruins immersion completely - Bugs with upgrading minions via spells (familiars, skeletons) - Missing informational feedback for upgrades, amounts of goods and minions - Bugged shop system, where only one item is bought instead of 10 - Limited management options (e.g. only able to manage up to ten at a time) - Excessive UI spam and filler throughout, easily stretching beyond Steam's return period - Lack of clarity on which options will progress the day and which ones won't - Ability to assign minions to tasks that don't scale with more minions (e.g. spying, establishing a cult) - No highlighting when dialogue or exploration options are exhausted, leading to wasted turns - Confusion with minor and major spells of the same type leading to unpredictable results or bugs - Backing out of choices sometimes wastes a turn without any benefit - L…

Frequent spelling errors, lacking in important information regarding resources and character abilities, noticeable absence of explanation for vital mechanics. I love the idea but as of right now, very poorly implemented.

I enjoyed this game. It's quite different to most hosted games. It feels like playing more of a role playing game with the ability to decide how hard I want the game to be, and different events popping up with the previous choices and resources you have at hand affecting how you can interact with them which gives it a lot of replayability. Now I'm off to lead my undead rat army to victory!

Extremly confusing, based of another work of the author thats not clearly named and very hard to learn. If you chose the stand alone start, you have a compelling story that just suddenly stops and dumps you without explenation in a text-dungeon game. In my opinion this should not have been made a choice of games game, it would have worked better as RAGS or RPG-Maker game. Because of how complicated everything was and without any explenation how things work, i just remaind stuck after the promising start and couldnt go further, leaving me unable to enjoy or finish this game.

I wanted to like it.. I got one of the prequels (the Tokyo one) to try and like it.. Here's the demigod ending: [spoiler] EPILOGUE (…) No epilogue…This may eventually become the starting point for another book! [/spoiler] Literally that's it. Most of the game is 'grinding' (clicking through the same choices over and over) except that you don't really know what you're grinding for. Your spells don't really say what the requirements are for them so you can spend 20 in-game days trying to bring back up your mental stats to raise a dracolich only to find out you were supposed to astrally go to the realm of death twice. You get an 'army of the undead' spell with no requirements, that you can't cast until the very end (but it doesn't tell you that so you keep trying to figure out why you can't cast it) only to find out you can't cast it then either (no idea why though, it doesn't say). You get a quest for some ancient queen and you knock everyone out fine until you meet some cleric who banishes you.... How? No idea. How do you overcome it? No clues, nothing appears after to make you think 'oh I should have tried that'. Can you go back and try again? Nope, not unless you restart and re…

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.
