Whispers of the Eyeless

So I will start off with the transparency that I initially bought Whispers of the Eyeless to support Venris and co for their work on the Total War: Warhammer mod SFO. Now about the game itself, the art is gorgeous and the VA for the prohpet? Top notch, definitely very fitting choice and encapsulates the charisma and rage/desire/mania of the prohpet. The Cult Management is both straight forward and simple, yet not without its flaws such as how you raise faith, lower needs and lower notierity. The tooltips simply mention what occurs when they reach 100% as in the case of Needs and Notierity but not how to lower them or hints on how to lower them. Now eventually these are things one picks up. But to start with it feels like you're forced to contend with them, without any way of taking care of it. Too note, not saying there isn't a way just that it's my experience. The story... Eh... Personally, I think it's good and the "archaic" language fits the setting perfectly. Now I will admit, it might not be everyones cup of tea so to say and there's that. I don't really have much more to say then that honestly. The "roguelite dungeon crawling" elements is fantastic imo, as you an in a way…

This is an interesting game that mixes cult management with RPG elements into a unique experience. I've done 100% of the achievements in this game and will leave a few notes about that for future completionists. [h2]Pros of the game:[/h2] [list] [*]Resource management is an interesting puzzle to balance [*]Atmosphere and narration. Sometimes it is a little on the nose, but the voice acting and art really bring the feel together [*]Shards are nice rule changers and feel very different to play [*]Character progression and upgrades - there is a good feeling of progress there [*]Roguelike runs into dungeons can be fun and are quite quick [/list] [h2]Cons of the game:[/h2] [list] [*]Some minor bugs here and there, but those are getting patched [*]When it comes to combat, it feels like there is one best build that is the most optimal after some experimentation. The game shows you possibilities for many options, but in the end it rewards finishing fights fast and brutally due to attrition mechanics (sanity going down) [*]The ending in story mode can feel underwhelming because it is mostly story bits without any big final challenge [/list] [h2]Achieving 100% notes:[/h2] [list] [*]There…

So, first off I would like to say, this game is an excellent idea. I love the vibes and the voice acting is phenomenal. My only issues with it were that the tutorial is not very good, and the buttons to interact with stuff are impossible to find. Had me panning my mouse over every square inch of my monitor to find what to click. I got a refund, but am gonna keep an eye on this game. I would love to play it when it gets a little more love and polish

The game seems to have two different modes. The story quests where there seems to be some different options which don't really end up doing anything meaningfully different and a weird dungeon crawler. These two things don't seem to be tied in together and overall the game is very much just random choices thrown at you. Maybe it gets better but I'm not really trying to spend more time on it hoping it eventually does improve.

A certain frustrated player (not me, I haven't gone deep enough into the game) posted a long criticism of the combat system (which is a simplified variation of Darkest Dungeon combat, essentially). The response was the following: >Thank you for your feedback. I understand that you may not like some aspects of the game or wish to entirely change them. But such drastic changes requires a heavy amount of work and resources that we as a very small team does not have. Don't repeat my mistake. Don't feed the ungrateful rat. Avoid like a plague - if they're such a stuck-up ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ today, what kind of monstrous, infernal pride will even a moderate amount of success unleash?!
