This review is for v2.01
TLDR: grindy in the worst ways
This game uses RNG, which always means that save scumming will be included as a necessary aspect to be able to actually do well in the game because 99% chance of success with RNG usually means that you will fail more often than not because RNG is always a terrible concept.
Now if it was just some light save scum stuff, that would be fine, but this game lacks a very essential function...the ability to load saved games from within the game itself.
That's right, if you want to load a saved game, you have to completely close out of the game because there is no ability to load a save or return to the main menu, so you are forced to constantly relaunch the game, readjust the window size, and then load the last save...just to have to do it again another 15 times for the same events because choosing a specific action at a specific time will possibly just cost you severely without giving anything in return, effectively wasting your time and energy.
Now add onto that some terribly executed mechanics that just don't work well or aren't even explained and you get maybe one good fap in before you decide to never waste your time with this again.
Seriously, this game without cheats and mods is just a grinding headache.
