So this one was suggested to me by someone, otherwise I probably would have never paid this game any attention. As someone who is a fan of roguelikes, and also a fan of narrative choice based stuff like Life is Strange, I figured this might end up being a match made in heaven.

Early on I was really intrigued with how the game works. Everything felt very fresh, and random, and you never knew how things quite were going to work. Some interactions were heartfelt, some unique, and some genuinely terrifying. As the game goes on I do feel like it loses a bit of its luster, as you kind of learn what the game has up its sleeve, and a lot of the challenge becomes easier when you get items that carry over with you.

The characters that you meet along the way range from really good, to forgettable.

This concept is so unique and such an interesting idea, I had good time based off of that alone. I think there's something really here to this concept, and I would love to see another dev (or maybe a sequel?) take a crack at this idea and see if they could fix some of my issues, maybe expand on things, or make characters that I just end up caring more about.

Overall though, something unique, and worth playing. Enjoyed my time with it.
