- Very interesting combat economy in this game. Fits the theme pretty well, novel look. It's got it all
- Novel premise, felt a bit repetitive, I dug the art style, and it was very original. The mechanics were fresh.
What do you like about your game?
I think the UI ended up looking very fun. The idea of the game was really good too even though I didn't get to explore most of it.

Please keep developing this. Fantastic work in such a short amount of time. My only gripe was how long it takes to restart a game by waiting for the Shepherd slowly walk. Any way to skip if you've already watch them walk would be great although I'm sure you're painfully aware of this.
Full marks! You've created a beautiful landscape. And the combat model is simple and intuitive. Great job!
Amazing...from combat to graphics, to sound, to story elements and insights. Just amazing...
Bummer that after 5 restarts I finally manage to beat the third fight only to see the game freeze, but with this much mechanics and presentation implemented it is not aberrative to see some bugs. Despite that I recommened everyone to give it a spin, it's worth.
sucks to have a really easily fixable bug stop people from reaching the better parts of the game :(
i added a warning to the itch page for what causes this bug so hopefully that happens less to people
Great Game. was very fun, just wished there was checkpoints.
This game is pretty good all around.
Visually, it's great. Really nice stylization(if that's a word lol.)
The sound design is super nice! The music, environment sounds, and sfx are all well done.
The gameplay mechanic was pretty fun. At first, I was passing it off as luck but it's actually really interesting!
Great work overall. Definitely underplayed.
great mechanics, beautiful visuals and good sounddesign. nice work!
didn’t manage to finish it yet - game froze for me when getting the first upgrade, but what i’ve seen so far is superb
Super fun, really good main gameplay mechanic. Though shalt gamble in the name of the lord
hard to find fault in this game for anything. Fun board game mechanics, great visual style + shaders and biblical theme (which i could take or leave, but you lean hard into the theme well). Plays very much like a Euro (board) game, for sure could probably just straight up be a euro-game.
Great relase!
I'm giving this a 5/5 for every category. Outside of a couple bugs, the idea and execution here is just great.
damn you are smart, 5/5
Damn this game is so underrated i think. I loved the battle mechanic, the music and sound effects. The graphics with the post-processing were so polished too! I loved it
haven't even played for 5 seconds and this is phenomenal work thank you
i really like the ram!!!
I love the concept. Its kind of unsettling. The atmosphere and art is good too and the gameplay for the most part is interesting! 10/10
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 it`s almost perfect but i wish there was checkpoints and intuitive tutorial
also game could be “solved” very quickly. just use block action lol while farming lots. it could be fixed by decreasing chance of drop lot which player used for his previous acton. black lots don’t interfere with it much.
