Hi! Thanks for the extensive review! Glad you found the rhythm of the game correct. It was hard to find what for me was the "sweet spot".
I played The Long Road and loved it! It reminded me of some of my favourite board games (Like a crossover of Dead of Winter with Eldritch Horror).
I loved your game too! At the beginning of the voting phase I saw it and said "F***, this guy made the same thing as me!", but I played it and I was happy to find that it was a slightly different take on the theme. That fast forward mechanic to the future is great, and the pixelart style is very beautiful!
