Oh yeah, the fog definitely would help a lot with the initial information overload. That seems like a winner idea. So I hope you manage to make it work without that much of a performance penalty.

Btw, any chance we could get a bit of "zoom-in" function to help with focus?
That along with the fog would probably help ease players into the game's systems at a more digestible pace.

I saw the "YOU" text out of the corner of my eye. But since I was so overwhelmed taking in all the information, figuring out where I was supposed to go, and what the cards were, it kinda went over my head.

Also, suddenly noticing that meanwhile the clock had kept ticking sent me into a bit of panic, haha. So I started rushing a little and eventually got myself killed on the western-most settlement after having spent a ton of my resources fighting rats while searching a house.

Gosh, it's tons of fun.

Let me know if you figure out how to package it into a downloadable file. I'd love to play it again.
Maybe I'll give it a try on Edge and see if it's more stable/smoother.

Thanks for developing it!

Your feedback is gold! The zooming feature was in my head at one point, I have to check my list if I noted it already, just to make sure it doesn't get lost.

In which browser you are playing? Chrome might be your best choice performance-wise. On my MS Surface I can see my browsers fighting with all the transitions. Is this also so moment (when Cards "spawn", zoom and resort) where it gets hairy on your machine? Tbh, I think packing it won't change performance so much in my case - game code is all based on the native browser tech stack, so running it in a browser is already the best option you have. But maybe I can offer a version where I leave out all the CPU-intensive transitions - so cards would "just" appear without flying around. It takes away some of the information (where does the Card come from) but would lower the performance impact significantly.

Thank you for your expressing all your impressions and ideas - it's all highly welcome!

I run Opera GX. But I think the performance issues are a lot more on my end. The browser sometimes gets visual glitches even when rendering normal pages (I get white squares that hide sections of the screen). It isn't related to your game, it's just something I have to deal with from time to time. 

I also tend to run like a million open tabs at the same time, so perhaps that has to do with the visual glitches (maybe the browser runs out of memory or something).

That's why I'm thinking of running it on Edge, as a single tab, so that all of my machine's resources can be focused on that.

Was breaking into a house yesterday and all these rats spawned. I even had a fireplace up and running already! But I wasnt brave enough to attack them. They all had so much health, and I had a good amount of snacks in my pocket. They would have grown stronger so quickly by stealing - at the end, I would have been the snack for them... :-D
