Oh, wow! I didn't realize this was published a week ago! I only realized this was recent when I saw your inspiration came from Shepherd's Flock.
I greatly enjoyed session 1. I loved the character sheet tracking the status effects as well as the breaks in the fourth wall. Being able to put a custom name and species really made me feel like I was in the story.
I don't know if there is a way to spoil text on Itch, so be aware that the following paragraph will have slight spoilers for the ending of session 1.
Like my character, I really felt like the session was cut off abruptly right before it got to the good part (and I don't mean this in a bad way at all!) It felt like zoning out during a session and coming back to see you missed a good portion of it, which I am guilty of.
Knowing this is a new and recent project, I'll make sure to stay updated! I'm eager to see what Marath plans to do next.
