Something about this game really gets under my skin. A few of the reviews here have helped me put it to words. The dissonance of having to get invested in all of the NPC relationships and reputation, what things to put money into and how to manage all of the options for the deck building, while being so similar to something like Slay the Spire, and just as likely to have a run end. It feels like I'm doing it all for nothing. It's not something I can actually enjoy. It doesn't make for a short fun run, but like, a very awkard long stressful one. Worst of all, maybe I just had bad draws, but the actual cards I had to work with were very frustrating and crappy and couldn't really synergize anything right. The cards all just feel weak even after you upgrade them and get your graft slots filled up. Conceptually, it's nice. I just can't stand it.
