My expectations for this were pretty low, I had heard it was like "a number of combat arenas with some light fluff", but I feel like that's really a downplay of it! The characters are memorable (I really like the doctor with a little shaman sprite), the setting and mood are pretty good, and I'm a big fan of the way the combat works here. I played on hard and I felt the difficulty was great for me. It's pretty linear but the stuff you get up to (pretending to be a janitor to steal a weapon to defeat a cult run by insect spirits) is pretty cool.

The one big mechanical annoyance for me is having to move everyone turn-based style in between encounters, which takes forever and makes upkeep on buffs quite annoying. Imagine staying in full turn based combat mode for dnd for every single part of the dungeon. Lame! Very excited to see the sequels to this that show off more of the world and mechanically improve the game a bit.
