Absolutely loved the style and atmosphere. The uniqueness of the visual style, story, and gameplay make this an instant standout. I loved the dramatic text popups and learning more about the culture and history here with a cool horror twist. Really fascinating stuff!

Thanks for the review. I'm surprised by how much people like the graphics despite the fact that they are just free stock images mashed together. I've been having my doubts lately about this style since it feels like I'm doing the same thing as the generative AI cancer. I considered trying low-poly or a pre-rendered style, but time constraints gonna time constraints.
Photobashing is a real, valid style of creating art! You made something new from disparate parts, and, most importantly, it suits the game and enhances the atmosphere. If you were to expand on this, maybe you'd want to explore other styles, but you don't have to downplay the artistry that went into this. And personally, I would have been happier with unedited stock images over AI, so it's both appreciated and cool to see you working with what you had. Don't sell yourself short!
Atmosphere is spot on definitely, and it’s an intriguing combat system. Just a thought, I think could be interesting to limit the amount of spaces you move from one coordinate to another each turn in some way (with the difficulty balanced out elsewhere somehow). Great submission, God bless :)

Keeping EvenThe game looks and sounds awesome, turn based combat was interesting and easy to understand after reading through the options. Great job!

Bridge MayhemI didn't quite understand the full story in the game, but the gameplay was really fun—it made for a great experience overall!

MalfunctionStriking looks, this really knows what it’s doing thematically.
I don’t think I fully understood the rules though. Sometimes I heal and it only yields +1 HP, or I freeze an enemy and they get unfrozen right away. Made it to the first battle with Kherubim.
