I played this with my friends yesterday! We had a lot of fun. I loved the idea you used a poker deck, so anyone can simply just start it. Even subsribed your newsletter! By the way, any recommendations for background music to listen to when I play this game again?

Hi, thank you so much for your review, it's very important to us! We would also appreciate it if you would rate the game by giving it a fair rating!

About the music, we have an official track for your travels in the darkness

And during June we will be announcing the release of a soundtrack for naval combat, some different tracks for city adventures, and a track for a small village on a remote island. We'll post the full pack on itch.io, and we'll keep adding to it. Our sound designer is already working on the next theme. Stay tuned for more updates!

Regarding the unofficial recommended soundtracks, it depends on what mood you want to create for your game. You can check out variations of inspirational music for this game, with a variety of moods suitable for different genres, in our special playlist

We hope our recommendations can make your next story richer and more colorful :3

If I can't find a group to play with, will you allow me to convert to choicescript with three adventures so I can test the mechanics virtually?

Good afternoon, yes, you can certainly do that, but we would advise, for the experience that goes into it, to play it live and enjoy the story. That's the point, isn't it? :)

And we'd really appreciate it if you could show us your results, it should be interesting!

With absolute certainty! But I live in a rural area, board games are hard to find people willing to play, and when there are, games in English are not an option 😔 So I always need to find a workaround online, and often, it's easier for me to do it this way.

Thanks for the permission, by the way! I'll test the mechanics and see if I can find a group to play with before doing more tests. Once I'm done, I'll edit the first comment with my thoughts on the experience :) +Of course! I will share the result here to see when I finish the conversion.

Developer

We'll be looking forward to it :)
