What players say
I really enjoyed the ost and aesthetics of the game and some of the scenarios were fascinating. It did get alittle repetitive and I would recommend to grab it on a discount. As a lovecraftian fan, it does its job excellently but for resource management and puzzle solving, it can be alittle better. Overall though it was a fun experience.
No matter how buggy this game might be (especially with the achivements), I will always cherish it's morbid concept and amazing estetics.
The aesthetic wears off and you realize the game is a uninteresting resource management game where every single resource is the same. There are ten numbers to manage. If any of those ten numbers is low two rounds in a row you lose. That's it. That's the entire game.
