Good game!
The suffocating atmosphere of Act 1 is really something special, and Act 2 is a really fun expansion on the card system. Love the introduction of all of the different cost mechanics, though I wish they were introduced a little more smoothly. Bounced off them pretty hard at first and had to look up strategies online before it really clicked.
The pacing took a complete nosedive during Act 3, which soured my feelings towards the thing as a whole pretty strongly, so that by the time I got to the end it felt a little perfunctory.
If the whole game was as tight and atmospheric as Act 1 this'd be a higher score but the tone of Act 3 was a little too jokey and repetitive that it lost a lot of the feelings of dread and mystery that the first two acts managed to convey.
