I *really* like this game a lot, but there are a few things I would adjust to make it a better gameplay experience.
* Progression at the beginning needs to be faster, it feels too slow. At the very least, give the player something to do while waiting for the automation to do its magic.
* Introduce the curses in a better way, I felt confused about how they worked until the very end
* Require that the player complete all upgrades before finishing the game. It feels unsatisfying leaving things unfinished
* More shrines/objects to corrupt
* Bug: the bonuses from cursing shrines/objects disappeared for me, so I didn't know what benefits they gave me
