Well, I do love a good 'King in Yellow' reference.
So, I like the theme for this game, it's very unique and oozes with dark, surreal fantasy vibes. The issue is that I wasn't really sure what was supposed to be happening or what I should be feeling about it. The end was very surreal and a bit drawn out, again leaving me questioning what the story was trying to convey.
As for the gameplay, I thought it was very interesting! I've never really played anything with these kind of dice rolls and they added a good amount of tension to the combat. I also liked the insecurity that came with ingesting unknown potions and the fact you can interact with the enemies in other ways than just fighting.
Overall, I think this is a really interesting project. With some expansion, polishing of the text, and a clearer 'path' or 'goal' for the pilgrim, I think this could have a lot of promise.
