I played this game on stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1834468660?t=00h46m00s

Overall, fun game! I really loved the option to choose female characters, too many games don't offer that option, so great job there! I also really liked that the intro story said "humankind" instead of "mankind"

As mentioned in the stream, I think the starting was a bit long with too many options. I spent quite a while choosing the character, without really knowing how they would affect the game, since they talked about stats that I didn't really know yet. I could make guesses based on previous experience with other RPGs, but... it may be better to have a quick start mode for the first playthrough at least, maybe just choose gender, name and that's it!

I liked that each island had 3 fights and 3 items, it made progression clearer, and the player has to choose which items and monsters they want to get/fight. The fights were ok overall, although my fight with 3x apparitions (level 0) was harder than I'd expected, and I felt that the exp I got didn't quite reflect the difficulty. Maybe it would be an easier fight for other characters with AOE?

I liked the story that I read so far, and the bits of lore that I found. I was intrigued about the overall lore and story of the game, what happened with the goddess, etc. Great job!

Hello from tonight's stream!

This game was so fantastic to play! It became so agonizing to choose what to take and what to fight and what order to do it in order to min-max every element of it.

With that said, there were three things that stood out to me as things should be adjusted.

The first was the use of a single ring slot. Technically speaking, humans can have MANY rings on their fingers. As such, it doesn't make sense to me to only have one ring slot instead of at least two.

The second was how the skills didn't really seem to do much more damage. By the time I was level 4, the skill was doing only 5 damage more than the base attack. However, by this point 5 damage was so unlikely to be the difference in health between taking an additional turn or not.

Third and most important: you didn't let me pet the dog. I don't care that it's a wolf. LET ME PET THE DOG.

Great idea to mix roguelite elements into an RPG by allowing players to keep 3 items from their previous run after death. This ultimately progresses the game forward over time and opens up a lot of replayability. You have a great game on your hands. It just needs a little polish! The first 30 minutes were tough to get through but the game definitely opens up to be SUPER fun once I learned how everything worked. A lot of people may not play through the first 30 minutes to give it that chance.

The only problem with giving players too many choices at the very start is that it can be very overwhelming, especially for players not familiar with RPGs. I would slowly streamline new players by having a tutorial island that has them fight one specific enemy as they learn the core game mechanics. Then introduce a second enemy and a third, both times revealing more features about your game. After that, you can throw them to the wolves because you have now equipped them with the knowledge they needed. Now the extra options won't feel so overwhelming in Area 1. This is just a suggestion though! Thank you.

This game is amazing. Great style, great ui, it's all the good parts of retro gaming with a lot of modernization that makes it a breeze to play. I will say when I beat a cultist I was underleveled against I was very happy. The game really feels polished. I did have a bit of choice anxiety at the beginning with so many options for hero generation.
