Its sad that the devs gave up on this game, but I've gotten a ton of fun hours out of it. Do I wish they would keep updating it? Sure. Am I going to downvote a game because they won't? No. Its fun.

An easy 5/5 stars This might be my favorite game I've ever played. Seems to be a few not so favorable reviews floating around from some people who haven't given the game the time to grow on you. I've got ~100 hours in

Quite a fun game once you figure out all the various mechanics. I'm sad to learn that it's no longer being updated by the Dev team, but understand the reasons why. Regardless, I would love to see 2 more Aspects at some

Not my kind of game at all, but is still some solid fun with friends. Otherwise though not the kind of game id play on my own. Definitely needs a bit of communication with friends to get the most out of it between who

Great gameplay and great coop system. Too bad the questing is so bad in general. Quests are tedious, vague and have a terrible UI. And when playing coop, its actually tedious to stay in sync as some quests require you

This game was recommended to me frequently by the Steam algorithm for years but I didn't quite like what I saw in the trailers. I finally made the plunge during a sale and now wish I'd tried it sooner. Everything I like
