Nov. 2024

This is an excellent deckbuilder roguelike. The gameplay is engaging, and the challenge feels appropriate. Moreover, its style draws on The Binding of Isaac, where the gameplay is posed as a metaphor for emotional struggle. That is really effective here -- perhaps even moreso than in Isaac. I believe I got it on sale, but I would say that the $17.99 price tag is fair for what you'll get. My hours are inaccurate because my internet has been sketchy; I've played at least 20 hours. It is highly replayable.

April 2024

The minimal aesthetic sets this apart from other games in a strangely atmospheric way, especially with how stripped down the music is. The gameplay has a great level of challenge that doesn't overwhelm the player. And while constantly dying and going back to square one may sound annoying to some, with the achievements and collecting involved, it makes the experience pretty satisfying. As the story goes, I like the way the cutscenes are handled, short and sweet. But this trend of "mental health metaphors" is pretty stale and largely Lefty, juvenile, and cringe. One dialog example in this is "not saying anything can be really violent". Ugh. The writers don't even know the proper definitions of words. Still a good game, though.

Picked this game up via a random 66% steam discount voucher, wouldn't have known about it otherwise, great thought out game with a rather short story but lots of achievements to aim for making this very replayable.

March 2024

Great little (and time-consuming) game. Not without problems, though: ◘ Linux version should've gotten the update Win version has, probably was just an oversight, ◘ Few upgrades seem to not be working in some situations, but it's easily avoidable, ◘ DON'T EVER USE petrification on the Ferryman (unless you want to waste some time, and current game). Worth buying, especially if you'd be able to get ya' hands on the discount - it's a *steal*.

Touching story, cute art, fun gameplay with a challenging puzzle-y feel to it
