What players say

Players praise the original blend of search-and-extract exploration with dice-based combat inspired by Balatro, and the unusual fusion of Chinese metaphysics and Cthulhu mythos. But many warn the tutorial is overwhelming and the game risks confusion, persistence is rewarded with a deep strategic loop where death still progresses your run.
