Played for around 15 minutes.
Reminds me of Ord quite a bit
Strongly feel it should be more streamlined, I get that grindy gameplay is the whole point but half the steps in navigation feel unnecessary. Every single time, exploration requires confirming that you’re in an area, waiting until it ticks down, choosing explore, confirming that you’re exploring, waiting until it ticks down, and only then actually exploring with timing being relevant. You can make it last just as long but feel better if you cut down on the superfluous stuff but expand the last part.
Didn’t play enough to have a good idea of what you’re going for thematically. The naming estabilished a mysterious, slightly eldritch vibe, but the characters were bland. “5x bar for recipe” or whatever the Queen said felt like something you’d see spammed in MMO chat.
