What real reviews say
★ No information. The game gives you absolutely no information. You start off in a blank field with a card, figure maybe I should move this to here and that’ll do something and it does… It tells you nothing about what you’re doing or why.
★★★★★ A powerful and unique experience A game about games, a game about existence, about living and dying and dreaming, about quests and temptatons and betrayals and sacrifices. It might entertain you. It also might change you.
★★ No tutorial Bought this game and I’ll never play it because there’s no tutorial and I’m confused.
