  • Really interesting concept and a cute and unique art style. I think the main thing it's missing is a tutorial or guided gameplay at the beginning that would acquaint the player with the mechanics. It feels like this could be easily achieved on top of what you have so far, and I think it'd really enhance the player experience. Another thing that would be helpful is having a preview of buildings as the player is trying to place them. I didn't think the game worked because as I clicked on buildings to place, nothing happened. It wasn't until I clicked that I realized the building was, in fact, selected, so improving

It's a base-building, crafting game, where you need to harvest material, build structure in the shadow, assign worker, transmute material, sacrifice your lovely subject in the pursue of making lead to gold.

A little bit hard to understand but nice take on the theme.

Developer

Love the artstyle but man I felt lost.
I can see that a lot of effort went into it and a game is complex but those kind of games need a solid tutorial section for 1st few actions like farmville (and games like those) did it, just  'Press here, select this building, place it here, add a worker, collect resources, buy this building, conquer the world' like tutorial 😋.

Overall a huge potential but needs to be more welcoming for new players 😋.

Developer

Yes :')... for base building game it should have tutorial... and well... we don't have time to do it :')... Yeah it's prototype afterall :')... we spent a lot of time to make sure the core loop is playable... but yeah, because of that, we don't have time to make a proper tutorial :')
