this game is absolutely gorgeous, and I’m so excited to be running it for my players soon! I wish there were more greater enemies in the book, but frankly, it’s just given me a chance to make my own! Combat is simple yet evocative, though I think that the book would benefit greatly from an example battlefield, as it took me a while to understand the visual concept of positions.
However, the atmosphere of the game as a whole is fantastic, and gives a great feeling of a soulsborne game.
Ah, this game makes me happy on a fundamental level in a way very few things can. I am, at heart, a writer with an adoration for gothic fantasy and lovecraftian fantasy in equal measure. Hell, my own personal setting is called Torpor, and it is a realm of dreams. All I can say is that since I bought it last year, this game has been a delightful way to explore my own dreamy world through the lense of the prompts and places provided in this twenty four page wonder. It has done its duty in sparking inspiration, joy, and helping me explore the fundamental realm of my own little world. Though I have not yet ‘completed’ a run, I have started several, and each one has helped breathe life and legend (and usually over 10k words each time) into my little imaginary place. It makes me happy, and I’m starting yet another run tonight. Thanks for making it.
ok well I bought this game because the art looked gorgeous, and it is living up to the expectations that imagery gave me in text. I’m terrified of cirrus, which means I desperately want to marry him. Is he waving 42 red flags in my face? Hell yes he is. Do I care? Absolutely not. I’ve never been so stressed playing a game in my life, and I’m still in the early stages and praying I make it to a ‘good’ ending (I doubt this man is good for me in any fashion but if I get to kiss him it’s fine). I love, love, LOVE overwhelming themes of religion and desperation, which his route is clearly offering to me in droves, so safe to say I am utterly enamored. I’ll probably be back in comments to scream about it more in a while, but safe to say I am in shock and awe in the best of ways.
