À great casual game with a lot more to it than it seems at first glance. The different endings and secrets make it fun to start a new run. Not a single ad (I mean it's 2$ so...) and playable completely offline. A great game overall.the changes made compared to the browser game make the story a lot more anjoyable.

Absolutely intriguing strategy roguelike. Dark and mysterious, Impossible to put down. The controls are the only let down, arrow-tapping fatigue sets in soon.

I'm not really sure what there is to say about this game. It's well made, and it does what it sets out to do well, I just felt like I was missing something. I couldn't get behind all the hype after completing both endings, there was something about it that just didn't grasp me the way it did others. If you like darker exploration survival games based solely on text, absolutely give it a try, just don't raise your hopes for a huge amount of story detail or personal choices to take place.

The new update as of 5 Sep 2025 keeps crashing with sdl error. Game completely unplayable. Game worked fine before update. Get the same error on both my phones. Used to be my favorite game.
