So, I had heard about this game around the time of the game awards roundups and I had a lot of people tell me it was best experienced going in completely blind, so I did. I didn't look up anything about the game before purchasing and diving into it.

I was absolutely 100% not prepared for this journey. It was incredible. I can't quite describe the feeling completing the main story left me with. It's somewhere between relief and sadness. I'm not entirely sure why but after finishing it all I really want to do is cry.

YES I recommend this game. NO you don't need to like card games to be able to enjoy it. NO you don't even need to be good at card games to enjoy it. This game is an experience I can't even begin to describe. It's best experienced yourself.

@Glamrockdoll honestly I didn't want to dive too much into the nitty gritty of the game in a review because it's hard to talk about 90% of the aspects of the game without spoiling anything. Even trying to talk about the graphics would involve me having to spoil something (like how all the screenshots on the store page are only from the first act).

If I can say anything about it without spoiling too much, it's that it's been a very long time since I've seen an indie game go to such lengths to combine wildly different visual styles in such a way that they actually work well and enhance the story together. The story for me at least was about 12 hours to get through but I did fail a few times during the first act. And with the newly released mod the game has a lot of replayability.

But, if you do grab this game I really do hope you enjoy the ride. It's an experience I can't say I've had in a very very very long time!

Interesting, not a lot to go on, but interesting.. I understand why you did that though and I appreciate that your offering people the same experience you were given which seemed to be a good way to go into the game. It be nice for you to comment on a little more of your thought such as graphics, or game length just stuff that isn't spoilers. But, usually when I've come out of a game wanting to cry because either its over or the story line that usually a good indication of an amazing piece of work. Hopefully Ill get out it what you did. Thanks for your Spoiler free thoughts. lol
