I was going to pass on this one... But it seems to be one of the greatest surprises in 2021, sooo bought!

Btw, it includes in-game achievements

There exist a demo for this game on steam. Could gog get it too, please?

That would be nice actually.

Some 45min gameplay here by Retromation:

Really like the music and the art style here, but looks like the battles are like in these internet/card-games though... I'll wishlist this for now.

Has anyone actually bothered to ask them about the soundtrack?

Not anymore - they apparently pulled it on launch (not completely, if you search the community forum you can find "hacky" workaround to still install it, but I certainly wouldn't expect that they release it on another store).

Thanks.

Damn. So much about trying the game myself.

Looks promising — but, GOG, demo, please...

There doesn't seem to be any way to contact them except through Twitter, and even there they don't reply.

I don't have time to ask them about the soundtrack, and achievements,
but I found its demo for you guys/gals.

The 64MB demo on Steam is 1.0 (itch version is the alpha version) - it's just hidden:

Normally I wouldn't consider a game like this, but something draws me into the game, and the music is so darn atmospheric! Really fun game actually, can't remember the last time I played a game that I could immerse myself into. The game is perfect for those days when you have the mouse in one hand and a cup of tea in the other (or a nosy cat). Relaxing game for sure.

However, something to notice; if you think the screen is a little unclear, go to settings and turn off "CRT shader". Hehe, I thought it was a down-grade from the demo until I saw that one :D

(And you can transfer the save from the demo, \AppData\Local\Loop_Hero)

That music from the trailer is amazing!

Lets play of the game. Same youtuber has longer play sessions on twitch.tv (the guy seems to play roguelites than anything elses and he goes into great detail )

Don't have steam installed, so I have to wait whether it comes here or not.

This was a sure buy for me and no doubt about it. They got me hook, line and sinker. This one has the right amount of RNG, not totally based on luck, allows me to strategize by placing certain cards over others making a run more or less dangerous, enemy spawns which have a direct effect versus mountains which may not immediately have an effect, positive or negative, and helper cards granting bonuses, there are other survivors showing up, random events, special monsters and so much more I haven't seen yet.

To me this is Talisman without tediousness, random dice rolls, collecting and placing cards, random encounters with enemies and trying forever to get the numbers I need to get where I wish to go during my turn. A game done right! Do I love it? Absolutely, since getting into the loop is very easy! Trying to get out of it? Not so much ... It will cost me many hours of precious lifetime ... This is about the only thing I ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS GAME FOR!

I would recommend it to anyone with enough of a strong will not to start it up and playing it for hours on end! If you got money to spare get it, get it, get it! No life off-screen? Buy it, now! Have wife, children and animals to care for? Easily addicted to such games? Stay away from it and pretend it doesn't exist! In case you fall for it call your local exorcist to cleanse your computer or laptop! ;-)

Dead link .
