Surprisingly compelling! I look forward to seeing where this goes. A few idle thoughts:
- Enemies can be a lot to handle--for instance, thanks to a Saboteur, I almost didn't make it out of Epoch 1 in one game. You might want to make them, if not more rare, at least not appear in the first epoch.
- I played five or six games (good sign!), and never made it past Epoch 3 at best. I don't know if that's because the game is hard or because I'm no good at it, but offering it as a data point.
