Could you add hints in the gallery? Since the game isn't very easy (not difficult but it's not the breeze through everything with one hand), randomly testing the monsters combination to see which one unlock a special animation can be quite frustrating.

Also, how the summoning tome work? On one floor, I summoned a succubus but on the next one I summoned a ghost.

Small question: do you plan meta progression or do you want to do a pure roguelike?

Also, you should make that you earn bits even if a follower/summon (or a monster) kill an enemy.

The gallery displays a hint if you try to play a locked cinematic. I need to redesign the whole gallery menu at some point since it's getting so crowded so I'll try to add the hints to the actual menu.

The summoning tome tries to copy any enemy on the current floor, and enchantment levels changes the floor the enemies are sampled from. If it can't find any enemies it will default to spawning haunted skulls. It's a bit clunky so I need to just make a fixed pool of monsters it can clone from instead.

I want to keep the game as a pure roguelike. But I'm thinking that outfits and alternate player characters can be meta unlocks.

Having followers is a bit too strong at the moment so consider them not giving bits to be the intentional downside for now :P

Oh, sorry for the hints. Since I didn't see the point of clicking on locked cinematic, I didn't see the hints.

Also, I don't find followers that strong. I even found them annoying since they die pretty quickly and are useless in corridor. I would agree that ranged summons are strong but since summons are random, it doesn't happen that often.

In all my runs, I just went "succubus deity" + buying as much strength as possible and that was pretty much it.
