Jan. 2025

The game is beautiful and polished like a diamond. I loved the characters, writing, jokes, and the whole tabletop mechanics. But after trying different paths three times and still failing the story at the end due to a lack of time, I feel like I’ve had enough and don’t need to play anymore...

I have a lot more hours of play than what steam knows, because offline play on Steam Deck is not accounted for. An excellent game, original, gorgeous, fun... However, it's not for everyone. If you want a good ending, you need to make the right choices. If you want to make the right choices, you need to make bad choices first to learn. In the end, a complete run is quite long, gets somewhat repetitive despite various welcome mechanisms which help you take shortcuts after a while. At times, it can be hard, punishing. And in the very end, I had to consult a walkthrough because I had gotten everything right except one thing, so just when I thought I had finished it at last, I had to to yet another run. Overall I still think of this game as some kind of masterpiece, and am really looking forward any new game on this principle, maybe with an easier way to jump from a timeline to another, like in visual novels such as 999 which let you skip segments when you already played them with the same parameters.

Great game very entertaining. Very well done maybe not for everyone but if you like this type of game it does not get better.

I wasn't sold on the idea at first but this is a very compelling puzzle adventure game with beautiful art direction. It can get a little hard to remember certain details on repeated runs though and things can get repetitive, though the game takes care of some of that. But all in all this game is a big net positive that I'm really enjoying. Just maybe be prepared to take a few notes on things you can't quite work out in case they become relevant again next time you play.

This game is quite special and not what I expected (in a good way)! It sets itself apart from other card games. I want to give some info to set the right expectations. Unlike other card games this one is less focused on deck building, multipliers, RNG and game breaking synergies. It's a time loop puzzle game. Much more like an adventure game where each card is an action that you apply onto a location/character. There are no clear texts and numbers that tell you what each do. Context and critical thinking is everything. Even the time loop approach is unconventional. You don't play short loops but instead the progression is reminiscent of Nier. The first run get's you accustomed to everything and can take you 12 hours. The game then changes the writing and other mechanics to reduce repetition. Each consecutive run can will be shorter. 6 hours. Then 4. There are many endings and optional encounters. The writing is fantastic although the story and overall mystery a bit bland. The art, music and atmosphere of each location makes it a joy to play. I have some other small gripes but the overall experience is great. Go check it out if you want to play something that feels new!
