I enjoyed this world you're giving us a glimpse of here. The main character feels all too human and recognisable. Isn't this exactly the type of problems we would face if the mundane world collided with the fantastic? I'd like to see more, and I'm curious about the nature of the hole.
Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback! I had a lot of fun coming up with bureaucratic nonsense which I think is going to be fun to expand.
What a wonderfully moody, unnerving world you've created. It's really refreshing to have such a passive tone in such a cataclysmic genre, and being caught in between cosmic-level helplessness and the adventure-game genre's need to act is a really fascinating mix!
I really hope you continue to develop this game. You're clearly a great world and character builder, and I think if you can iron out the bugs, make the interface a bit more responsive, and hold the player's hand a little less, this will be an incredible experience!
And good luck at MAGS! You should make a game page for this on the forums so more people can see it!
Thank you for playing! I'm really glad the mood came through like that, I've got a bit of a learning curve on the balance between easiness and frustration and I think I leaned too hard into easiness but I have more time now to play with it. MAGS has been such a great motivator!
