i quite like this game, though it has some clarity and balance issues.
the start of the game is incredibly hard, which is fine, though i had to reroll the placement of enemies on my first encounter because they half of them spawned right next to me, which would have ended the game before it started. all in all, procedural generation could use some tweaks and limits. towns kept spawning next to each other too, which I vetoed. also the worms suck to fight. they're tedious to roll for every turn, for them to never spawn anywhere near me in the encounter. also rolling a single dog can be a relief, but is rather uninteresting.
once you get going though it snowballs quickly. there's little limit to how many contacts you can make, which means how many jobs you can have, and no inventory limit or time restriction for deliveries. this means you can easily stack up jobs and make BANK. I limited myself to 2 contacts per city, which seemed reasonable, but still got my weapon to 56 and armor to 20. Once you get enough cash, food is no problem, and so stealth on every turn becomes feasible.
some rules were hard to understand: i didn't get the jumping over obstacles until I watched your videos, and still am not sure how deterioration of weapons works. though past the first couple encounters that wasn't much an issue.
despite any of this, the game was very enjoyable. I like the feel and a lot of the ideas, and the moments of tension do work quite well in the first half. some of the encounters were tricky and fun too. I'm thinking applying some of the extras to the base game might be good, I didn't try any of them because navigating between files on my phone would be a pain, but they look cool, and things like the reputation and handlers could potentially solve some of the balance issues. I'd have to try.
I hope you keep refining this, as there's a version of this game which is truly amazing, and you're pretty close to it.
