Enjoyed this one far more than I expected to!

The rogue-like structure is bizarrely implemented and doesn't really work due to how long runs take but there was a lot of thought and vision put into how it interacted with the narrative. I get the feeling that dying over and over was meant to be a significant part of the story but the difficulty wasn't high enough for this to happen more than once on my 11~ hour play-through.

Ultimately, while I did enjoy the combat and random encounters, the story was what kept me hooked in. Cool setting, good intrigue, and decent twists throughout (to give full credit, one moment around the 4th act legitimately made my jaw drop, it's so good).
