Hi there!
This is a quick revision about how I describe the game genres for To the Gates of Truth.
I do mention a lot TTRPG, as I believed I wanted the experience to be that way. But the more I playtested the game, the more I felt those features and mechanics weren't what I was looking for.
I know believe the game as being :
- tactical
- cooperative
- a cardgame
- scenarized (that replace the expectations for what a TTRPG is and doesn't narrow down my design process).
You can see more of it in the overview video:
Apart from this quick revision, the rest of the article still stands :)
