2) I was unable to complete the last quest once it finally started, due to the fact that cards/events show up based…It can also be played in very short bursts, which is a plus, and it's very funny at times.If the game had more replay value I'd start a new save, but I've already seen 99% of what the game has…The most interesting of these involves a multi-step path to trick the Devil, and reaching it requires a thoughtful combination of items…Why it fits
Best for players who want strong atmosphere, replayability, exploration, and management. It offers deckbuilding, replayable structure, exploration, and strong atmosphere, with short sessions and a high skill ceiling.
