very good game but very quick to beat wish there was more content :(

It is a fun litle game with an interesting concept. A bit short but worth every cent.

This is why I peruse the recently released calendar every so often. Hidden gems like these make it worth wading through the crap. Though I completely get if anyone bounces off this game initially and it has some obvious flaws. That being said, it's also such a gem and I am a sucker for a fully realized creative driven and unique experience. This was a game someone genuinely wanted to make and it's why the indie game market is the forefront of unique gaming experiences. The issue is not the initial impression in general though or that it's a slow burn; it very much is not. I very much have no patience for games that requires you to invest more that 30 min - 1 hour before you find any desire to want to play; this isn't that. The mystery and intrigue is immediately captivating, you want to understand wtf is going on, quickly hate the king, and desire to learn the mechanics. But what may bounce people off is the seemingly intricate and confusing nature of what to do; the unknown of who you are and why you're here, and the gameplay being a unique blend of mechanics and rulesets. As well as the controls feeling a bit janky at first and there seemingly to be only one music track in th…

Fun little microgame I'd definitely pick this up on sale for the price of a coffee

There's not much here, and the game isn't terribly difficult. And yet... I realized it didn't matter to me. What's here was fun and aside from the tutorial dragging on a bit much, it's well presented. It made me think a little bit, provided some game ideas that are not commonly available in other mechanics and was an interesting if small puzzle to solve.

Looks like an Inscryption wannabe at first glance but is actually a quite novel and mechanically compelling tabletop-like game the likes of which I haven't seen before. The kind of game you can use as an example to win an argument against someone saying how nobody in the games industry does anything new anymore. It has an interesting management gameplay model and high effort stylization out the arse. Something this well done having fewer than 30 reviews at the time of writing just goes to show quality never has, does not, and never will equal success.
