I'm a sucker for both spooky themed but not jumpscary games and idlers in general so I really liked this one.
- Very solid presentation, both in sound design and visuals
- Loved how once you upgrade buildings enough they change visuals
- Appreciate the shortcuts being directly on screen, surprised how these are missing in some big release tycoon/city builder
Wishlist/Random improvement ideas as tribute:
- Wish that instead of repeat clicks you could turn on/off each feed button to autofire when ready
- Wish the game had a communicated end goal or end of content. Took me a while to realise oh wait I got as far as I could (Or I think I have)
- Wish there was more depth or reasons to mix buildings. At first I was excited to unlock new ones but then realized the base buildings seem more reliable as each upgrade netted an extra income of the primary reason you built it in the first place while hybrid buildings leveled up both resources but slower and you are more often than not held back only by Faith late game imho.
- I wish buildings comboed with eachother. Like placing a house near a place of worship generates more Faith per ticks etc.
- I wish there was narrative and mechanical payoff to progress Mother. The buildings changing color as you level them was interesting, I wish similarly the island got more gloomy and corrupt or unlocked entirely new phases as Mother grows stronger. I think tying the research unlocks to Mother's growth would give stronger motivation to feed it and resonate the theme a lot
