June 2025
This game allows for you to explore all the different kinds of interactions each card has with each other, and because this game has so many different interactions, each play through has its own unique challenges. Exploring and unlocking requires strategy, preparation, and sometimes even the right choices. I even often find myself wanting to go back and reconsider a choice I've made in the past. What could make this game better would be giving each character their own voice lines. I also would have loved more opportunities to gain more skill cards, or even be able to choose a loadout of skill cards and supplies before a mission.

Cons: * Some things in this can be aggravating. If you're trying to get a certain side-quest and accidentally choose the path that exits the current storyline, too bad. Start all over, you can't re-play it. * You can't skip long dialogue interactions, you have to click through each one, no matter how many dozen times you seen the damn thing. I highly recommend silencing the narrator as well, he gets annoying fast. Pros: * Good sense of humor * Fun, consistent art style * Good sound design * Lots of combos with party skills and items that allow many combats and situations to be handled different ways Overall worth the price, but if you can get it on sale, do that.

I got this game just to see what it would be like because I usually play games that have really challenging modes or specific timing stuff to work. I really wanted to take a break from mainstream games that have all the violence and break neck speeds. So I found this and was really happy with this type of game. If you like lite puzzles or story/mystery based games this little game is pretty neat. It feels like a short dnd game by yourself which is pretty nice, and the combat is pretty easy so def a good game for little kids getting into games, or people who like short stories and laid back gaming. however if you come in thinking that its a deckbuilding combat focused games about combos and top decking this isn't the game for you. solid game would recommend.

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.
