I dug the intro narration with the spooky art. Deifnitely had a lovecraftian vibe to it with the even toned locatiousness. The sound in general was pretty interesting, though the balancing could use some work. Like the Health creature was way too loud.
Given how spooky the intro was, I did find it a bit weird how quirky the side character like the worm and spider were. The pitched up voices put me in mind of the Worms franchise.
Having the number of people you use as a difficulty slider was a cool idea.
Seems to me the early game is where most of the struggle is. Keeping your people alive long enough to up their stats and deck them out with equipment.
With it being auto-battling, obviously a lot of it's in the prep. Picking strong people, but trying to spread out the damage too. It was a little tricky to keep track of all my stats and equipment as the interface was, but I assume that's just a time thing.
Approrprate ending. All in all a solid entry!
