The best way to put this, is the game is a really good set of bones to build upon. It's hard to judge something like this without a proper group to sit down with it. But I can definitely see the potential of this one. I wish I could rate it higher, but a lot of the things it's being judged on are based on video games. Again, this has a lot of potential, given the right GM, but I feel it falls flat for this jam a bit.
The concept was to create something simple and quick, inspired by the city where I grew up. I believe that too many rules can hinder a horror game; it should only have what’s necessary to intuitively support the setting. I watched your video and understand how challenging it can be to play this during a livestream, haha. Nonetheless, I truly appreciated your comment and feedback!
The idea is interesting, is it really like a board game? it certainly looks interesting.
Glad you liked it! It’s more of a TTRPG than a typical board game, but I’m working on some rules for solo play or playing without a game master.
