As someone who has never Farkled or Yahtzeed, all I can say is I had way too much fun lol. The mix of real world elements and stuff like the Pastoriche graffiti or mountains of trash bags evoked a lot of feelings of 90s adventure gaming which I appreciate a lot. The FMVs were too funny, I love the design of Orchk so much, and the depiction of Boyhowdy had me cracking up. The deck builder element was a great surprise, I went heavy hit for most of the game and it felt so satisfying getting the right dice.
Deckbuilding sparkle is extremely my jam. Love unlocking new perks and adding dice to the bag. The FMV puppets are so sick!

Dregs of the UndergrowthSimply amazing! The effort on show here is bananas. Obviously the visuals are out of this world but also the actual game play is super fun too. Its really interesting to see all the different builds you can aim for and how certain combinations can become super OP.

Zugtug Cleans UpWhat a crazy, unique experience this game is! The FMV puppets and real-world map is a fascinating creative choice that works so well to create an unsettling yet charming, dream-like atmosphere. Backed up by an engaging battle-dice game and great writing.

Pastoriche's Nuclear NightmaresAwesome game! That town is huge and fun to explore, but the green fog was quite chilly... I can't believe all of the hand-made characters that got into the game. I was dedicated to the Heavy Hitter path after the first fight and wanted to find everyone to quench my thirst for power. Also, I can really appreciate the moral of the story at the end.
Incredible, loved the vibes and the puppets looked really good, also found the dialogue to be pretty great.

NIGHTMARE VALLEYNever thought I would be playing a game of battle Yahtzee! Love the puppets and the music. It really added a lot to have the deck builder component.

All That Splinters Is GoldThat's a super charming game! The custom puppets are so good, and I also really enjoyed the writing, the simple game mechanics and the upgrades. I struggled a bit navigating around and hitting all the arrows, but I suppose that's just part of the nightmare (and the 90's point-and-click charm). It looks like y'all had fun making it, and it comes across in the game.
