Finally got to play this game last night, as my group got together for the first time in ages and not everyone was there so we wanted a light filler game. And it was a delight! Once got going, everyone was adding elements to the map and our protagonist's story smoothly and building on each others' ideas in fun ways. We ended up with more of a Myst vibe than a metroidvania, which was neat too.
It does really need a quick reference page though, after reading all the possible types of cards out to the group I grabbed a spare index card and wrote a list of all of them, as well as noting which ones were limited or other unique properties. That reference card got passed around with the pen to whoever's turn was next.
