A simple little survival game that I've had a blast with so far. Still a lot of game to be seen (I've made it a map in, I think there's three?), but as it stands, its mechanics are streamlined enough to be simple to pick up but punishing enough that run optimization is a worthwhile pursuit.

You manage food, you manage health, you try to figure out where you need to go and what you need to do. Blobber-style map navigation, one-on-one fights that boil down to "do I fight, run, eat, or heal?" there's a certain urgency in making sure you don't starve to death (natch) or die outright. Simple, but not every turn-based RPG needs to be a Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, or Pokemon, y'know?

As stated, the spritework is incredible. Gorgeous looking game, feels like the culmination of someone saying "why doesn't *every* room look like a cutscene" and running with it. So you end up with a setting with beautiful women, beautiful men, gorgeous locales, and strong incentive to keep exploring just to see what they've managed to do on the platform.

Awesome little game, excellent little cart, would recommend checking out the original on itch to get a little taste of the game. Excited to see what the developer does next!
