I had trouble even after reading the how to play, but kept re-reading en trying. I like the idea, it kept me hooked to keep going. The setting is great and it fits the theme well.

Developer

Thanks for your patience and not giving up! I am glad you appreciated the game. Definitely need to make the game easier to understand with a step-by-step tutorial.

The atmosphere and aesthetic is spooky, I love it. I appreciate the help tile. I struggled at first, but got the hang of it. This is a unique game!

Developer

Thanks for playing the game and the kind words. Further updates definitely need to address a better explanation for the game.

It's a really original game, which seems almost like a board game with its push-your-luck mechanic. I appreciate the "help" button during the gameplay, but for me, it was difficult to really understand what I was doing. Another type of tutorial or explanation could help a lot!

Anyway, really good art!

Thanks for your time playing the game and your feedback. It definitely needs a dedicated step-by-step tutorial, but I couldn't fit one in. I should have probably cut other things.

To be honest We don't get how to play this game, but we completed it somehow.

I am sorry the game didn't do a good job at explaining itself. Thanks for giving it a try regardless!
