"Chernobog" is an awfully strange way to spell "RNGesus." It's baffling that this game is tagged "choices matter" on steam because your choices do not matter. The game actively punishes you when you don't follow its rigid (and incredibly hollow) structure, then punishes you some more when you do. The lovecraftian setting is funny when you realise attempting a successful playthrough is the definition of insanity; doing the same thing each time, hoping the rolls go your way and it's somehow different now.

Though the Sunken Sins DLC adds a level of visual polish to the game, the mechanics are just as bare. There are a handful of event chain quests that you will likely never see through to the end because you're still forced to pick whatever result is most advantageous to keeping your stats above water, killing the chain's progression. And perhaps it doesn't matter since you probably won't make it past the first year. And if you do, you'll find your "choices" dwindling further, with less people to sacrifice either because they're dead now or they're quarantined with the plague, less people to proc letter events, all traits likely known to you so there's nothing left to discover. Seasons become worse than routine, they now waste your time as those very nice result screen animations can't be skipped and are now very annoying.

I got this game on sale and still think I paid too much. This game really doesn't want you to play it, so don't.
