I really like it so far, but just be clear: IT IS ACTUALLY AN EARLY ACCESS. In a week since its release, a sizeable amount of gameplay addition and tuning has occured. I like that the devs are supporting the game, but there are daily gameplay changes. I don't know why the publisher decide it was okay to try to hide it, but If I were you, I would wait a couple of months before playing it.

It's a more streamlined and less obtuse Cultist Simulator. If that made sense to you, you can stop reading, you already know what this game is about; if you're confused, here's the explanation. The game plays as a card game with timers. You have a main character that can perform various actions by dragging his card into slots on other cards, and what you can do is context-sensitive considering what and where you combine cards. For instance, drag your character to your home, and you'll rest. Drag your character to a forest and you'll explore it. Drag a turnip into your character and you'll eat it. You get the idea. Each action will take a certain amount of irl time to complete. (don't worry, it's very quick and you can fast-forward time, so it's not like a mobile timer game). Time running adds a strategic component because some cards are perishable after a while, so some planning will be required to advance and do everything you want. It's not a hard system to grasp, but it grows in depth and complexity as the game introduces new mechanics and the elements of the cards themselves start to become relevant to make potions and rituals. There is a very light "survival" aspect in place that is easily conquerable but always present, having to manage rest, hunger and good standing with the Inquisition, so despite having a relaxed pace you will be quite busy micromanaging. There's also a quite useful grimoire that will guide you through your first steps, although I'd suggest to use it only if you run into a wall and can't advance. One of the main charms of these kinds of games is slowly finding out new stuff to do while you experiment with new features and combinations. Lastly, if you enjoyed this game and want more like it, I'll suggest getting Cultist Simulator and Book of Hours, as they function on the same card/timer system and have quite an enjoyable vibe to them, not to mention top quality writing.

A less opaque, more forgiving Cultist Simulator. A farming sim done entirely through menus. This game caters to a niche audience of a niche audience, and it's something I didn't know I've been waiting for. Steam Deck friendly right at launch. Definitely something I'm looking forward to getting to know better.
