The game did run for me, unlike the others, but unfortunately it's...a little bit opaque as a game.

Not all card effects are clear, even after playing them, to start with. Not all places I can play a card are equal and I don't know what many of the values mean.

"Fear" is explicitly explained by the directions. Okay!

"Funds" are explained as well. Also okay!

But what is "Heal" (or heat? the font is kinda wonky)? What is connections? What is the diffrence between "Corruption" and "Corruption?" About the only card I was 100% sure on is that drawing death always kills you.

Thanks for the feedback

I'll explain some of this in case your curious(though this doesnt justify that I'll explain some of this in case your curious(though this doesnt justify that It wasnt explained in the game)

The cards have a side to flip onto where you can see the In game story justification, though unfortunately I never implemented the popup that would show the effects when hovering over sphere of infulence because I lacked time(not a justification, just explanation)

I'm glad that I at least got fear and funds explained, they would have been so confusing otherwise

Heat-The trouble you are in with the authorities, if this rise above fear you risk getting jailed

connections-An unimplemented feature that would give you better cards if you level it up

The difference between "Corruption" and "Corruption?" is a question mark, I dont even know where you found this but it'll probably break the game at some point.
