(I had tried posting a comment already a few days ago, but I don't see it here so I'm gonna try again)
I really like this game!
The story is really interesting and well written, the world has a lot of lore and all the characters look and feel unique, plus the sheer amount of choices and brancing options makes it so you can choose several different paths all of which are interesting and worth seeing! Can't wait to see how the story proceeds, and how you are going to incorporate Liz's everyday life in the story (writing, part-time job etc)
The gameplay for the struggling scenes (both prey/pred) is amazing! I was not expecting something so interactive and genuinely fun! All of the mechanics are well thought out and make sense, and there is a surprising amount of depth to strategies and "combos" you can make, with all those cards for prey/pred allowing for several different deck archetypes (altough some cards are weaker than others, though that makes sense. Not all cards can be good).
I know why I like the gameplay, I'm and avid player of STS (I don't know if I can write the full game name). It works surprisingly well in this scenario, but you put your own unique twist on this so it's still a different game and not just a copy. I really like the idea of Poses for one, and how every character has their own way of being pred/prey. Endless also works really well, but the beginning fights are pretty hard since the starter cards suck, and then you get really strong with all the upgrades and such so the stakes get a bit lower. Still fun though! Altough sometimes I won on the first turn.
Overall, I really liked this game and I can't wait to see more from you! Endless has literally become one of my favourite pastimes for now so props to you!
Have a good day!
