Wowwwww I loved this game, it was amazing! I was obsessed with this while I was playing it and had trouble putting it down. The fights were pretty engaging, I loved how you needed to adopt different strategies with different enemies so it always kept things interesting. I also liked that I didn't ever feel like I needed to grind to level up. The way that death is incorporated as a game mechanic was super interesting and I loved it, I think it's cool that death is almost a mandatory part of the game. itchio doesn't have a tag for "choices matter" I think but boy this game really is a choices matter type game, and the way the game handles your choices (and mistakes!) was really well done, I was super impressed. Especially some of the decisions towards the end were really tough to make, I had to sit and think for a while about what I wanted to do. I'm actually super happy with my ending (I got #10) so I'm reluctant to go back and change things, but I am super curious about what happens in the other endings so I will (even though I fully expect to be emotionally devastated by them). I was really attached to the characters (especially Esra, of course) and thought the world-building was really good as well. I think a text-based game is hard to pull off, and I've read some pretty good ones, but this is definitely one of the best, and one of my favorite games I've played in a while.
