Tibia honest, it's hard to find a bone to pick with this game. The characters are hip, the writing is humerus, and the NPC's are unique and interesting - despite being a skeleton crew. Gameplay is definitely not bare-bones, surprisingly well fleshed out, despite a distinct lack of flesh. Some of the enemies are bone heads, though none got under my skin particularly.

Great game, very easy to pick up and play. Runs 100% on Steamdeck despite "unsupported"
