  • gameplay39 mentions

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it lacking in depth and strategy, often relying too heavily on luck rather than skill. While some appreciate the unique card mechanics and the game's aesthetic, others criticize the repetitive nature, slow animations, and insufficient explanations of game mechanics, suggesting that improvements could enhance the overall experience.

    • “I love the premise; the gameplay and atmosphere are pretty interesting, and it's free.”
    • “Innovative gameplay: the mix of card roulette, strategy, and roguelike elements is refreshing and provides lasting fun.”
    • “The main gameplay is also really boring, boiling down to 90% luck and a smidgen of planning and actual skill.”
    • “There's a good concept here, and if they added some tweaking to the gameplay (and the ability to turn the flickering lights off), I believe this could become a great game.”
    • “The gameplay is pure RNG as there is no real way to avoid damage (you can just draw 4-5 death cards and if you don't have a discard item, it's over).”

    • “An extremely atmospheric horror game with a healthy dose of strategy thrown in.”
    • “The atmosphere, the sound, the monster, the luck-based board system, etc. makes it feel pretty scary at first, but as you understand more, the game stops being scary.”

    • “But the constant light flashing between each action ruins the mood rather than adding to the atmosphere.”

    • “The game's a little poorly optimized, and the story isn't much to speak of, not to mention the RNG tends to bite you in the ass a lot.”
    • “The 'story' and 'aesthetics' set up ideas that don't go anywhere (what's the deal with Earthworm Jim? Why isn't his hand bound? How come he leaves experimentation needles all over his body?), and defy basic logic (your human fingers are cut off? Don't worry, they will come back with no explanation.)”
