I really loved the art and music in this. Reminded me of World of Horror in a way. The characters were cool. It was hard to understand where to go and who would be good where, but I did muddle through 50 turns and make it out. No idea how you got such good VN style text in AGS (something I was struggling with previously so I moved away from using it for a game I currently have in development). Great work.

Very fun! I'm not normally a big fan of card-based video games, but I enjoyed this a lot. Some of the task locations cut off the text that tells you how many turns are left in the task, and it can be a bit hard to select what you want sometimes.
The bigger issue that I encountered, though, is an error message and crash. I could only see the message when alt+tabbing, for some reason. For context (it's unfortunate Itch doesn't have spoiler tags, so I'll be a bit vague), a character died while I was carrying another character.

Bah, shit. Stupid complicated game. Thanks for screenshotting the error message! Think I figured out where I went wrong, but in the interest of jamness I won't be patching it out until after voting closes. P:
(Will def. look into the other issues as well! Text is easy to fix, but the card selection'll take a bit to untangle. Don't code at one am folks that's how you get spaghetti.)
