Woot! Finally took down Big J. Didn't end up using the grate or scuffling with Snappy, and never found the tinkerer, but managed to just barely pull it off anyway.

This game deserves all the accolades it has been getting. Very well done. I like how chapters 1 and 2 play off each other, with 2 initially leaching the gains of 1 until the player cycles and learns enough to turn the new post altar situation to their benefit.

This is a masterpiece.  Convenient upgrades, an enjoyable gameplay loop that rides that fine balance between consuming time and respecting it, numerous paths to take, and a surprisingly engaging storyline & worldbuilding fleshing it out.  Thank you for this gift.

Is there a discord server for this game?

For me, the game halts almost immediately with an exception:

Uncaught DOMException: The quota has been exceeded.

Absolutely loved the game, very addictive, has that "just one more turn..." element :) In fact, it was so good, I wanted to ask you what engine you used to create this game? I really want to know more about it.

I'm on my first run and chose to defy Legion and lost but now there's no menu options to click. No way to continue :(

Hello, I've been enjoying this game on PC, but on mobile (android) ever time you tap it seems to make the screen keyboard pop up.

The music of the orc shaman is exceptional. Touching. It transmits the sense of sadness, stoicism and undeserved punishment of the protagonist.

Can't see the trinket UI on mobile, it blinks in and out immediately. Also can't export save on mobile because the encoded string is too long. 

when i toggle off auto explore i cant retoggle it till next cycle

reached 100th try and still got no clue. what is that pendant 10/10 on screenshot? where is triangle key, and pass to check point? and no matter how my alignment is, soul door's heretics keep fus ro dah on me. I noticed hammer which black smith would be interested, but there was no option to try lift that thing. quite complicated, this chapter..

bug 1. when you turn music off while you are at legion chapter and then turn music back on at zezebel chapter, music stays legion chapter's.
bug 2. when you go mind door route and kill fish - rest - agree on trade, wrong pop up shows on. effect seems applied, though.

I tried to export my save, it doesn't works. I reset a cycle, it reset my full save. I quit.

cant pause auto explore. 

New version of the game released. Enjoy and have fun!

i enjoyed but was frustrated you always had to move forward and could not go back to areas you already been to. also only being able to take one item or search a chest or a desk and being unable to search the other was annoying

Really loving this incremental game! Almost to the end of what's here so far for the first time. Wondering if there's a sort of NG+, but heck will love it when full release is out!
To any who were  wondering the answer is yes there is NG+

So an issue I've been running into is losing the disableable upgrades if they were disabled at the time I restart the game. So for instance after switching from my android to desktop I lost all my points in Demoralize (it costs points again), I am Bat/Goblin, and Straight-Forward (but I kept Popup Blocker and I am Wolf because I was using those at the time of the save).

I've also occasionally ran into a bug where (because of auto-leave options?) I will enter a battle, but the enemy health icon will disappear.

SP upgrades that force us to do something is not really nesessary & good. time to time, I want to test different option. last time I tried bat form, squeeze through gate(that contains chest and study desk) was impossible thanks to unstoppable perk.

Oh, and skeleton warrior fight was somewhat buggy. every time, I have to fight them 2 times.

Having a blast with this one, and looking forward to the next update. My only complaint is that in the late game I keep accidentally misclicking path options because a battle ended while I was clicking on my daggers.

Fantastic game so far, only problem I seem to be constantly under is that the timer seems to not tick properly so sometimes it takes second for a single second to pass in game. Perhaps it's a browser problem? (I use Chrome)

I just completed my second play-through. Over all, well done and very playable. Thank you.

There are a few minor issues as of v0.2.9 that could be addressed to polish things up. This forum doesn't seem to support [spoiler] tags, so I apologize in advance for the incoming wall of text.

Animal Planet remains active after rats/bats/imps are removed when Cross Bridge is selected and when Open Door appears. This appears to be a bug.

The menu order isn't stable. The Exploration option moves when switching tabs or when hunting rats or bats. Read some Books in the Training Room moves down if the other options are selected, which can lead to accidentally clicking 'Leave' if Read some Books isn't automated yet.

Bat: Navigate Airducts has "0/1" in the top right corner. This should either be blank or say "UNLIMITED".

Bat: Navigate Airducts and Wolf: Sprint labels don't update when upgraded.

Soul Points: Traits that can be turned off after purchase should be identifiable as such before purchase.

Depending on Skill speed, Wolf: Blood Banking requires between 1h41m16s and 1h49m35s to reach the 50 point cap. The limit should probably be reduced to 20 points, which can be reached in 15 to 20 minutes depending on Skill speed. An upgrade to reduce the 5s time increment might be in order as well.

i had a lot of fun with this! i think this has the potential to be put on a shelf with the games you've drawn inspiration from. excellent work!

Enjoying this a lot so far! Found a bug that breaks a cycle though. When fighting a goblin horde, I misclicked and queued up a goblin fight and a random rat fight at around the same time.

When the fight with the rat ended, I was back on the menu with no option to fight goblins, and no way to advance. Thankfully with that reset cycle button I can still start over, but just figured I'd make sure you were aware!

Please note firstly that I have not yet beaten Legion, so whatever I say can be taken with a grain of salt.

I would love if the forms could be upgraded: Like Wolf to Werewolf, Bat to Vampire, Goblin to Orc, and Ooze to Doppelganger.  Basically an overall boost to abilities.  I read in the comments that the content post Legion isn't done yet, so maybe its in the works?  I also hope that the cutscene skipping buyable only skips previously seen scenes or is restricted to just the Legion chapter.  I'd hate to buy the skill and then miss any new cutscenes... not that I plan to buy it at all, considering the artwork is too damn pretty to skip.

This is a great game that fills the moments between my other current idle obsessions.  Do I recommend it? Absolutely. 5/5 stars.

the art is cool do you have a place were I can see it more clearly?

Fantastic! Strong theming, a nice transition from 'narrative RPG' to 'Prestige loop maximizing' play, well paced while being surprisingly long. I like how you can earn an ending from the word go, and the prestige loops are for earning a better ending. I dig how the RPG exploration becomes a puzzle of maximization on consecutive playthroughs - it felt a little like the old 'Lock and Key' interactive fiction game in that regard. 

Scratches the incremental game itch beautifully. Numbers get larger, and progression gets faster, while having enough long and short term decisions for the player to keep it engaging. It never goes from Game to Spreadsheet territory, like most incrementals do. 

Nearly perfect. I feel like the purchases that can be toggled on and off before a run could be marked as such before purchase, so the player knows they are not committing to always doing X on all subsequent playthroughs. And if I were in the author's shoes I would replace the promised meta-prestige layer with a firm ending, but I'm looking forward to them proving me wrong in future updates with whatever they still have up their sleeves.

Just out of curiosity what do you sacrifice at the altar? I can't figure it out.

Super cool game so far! How do I stay an ooze in order to get the cheaper bonus on that list? Also, rat and wolf are used interchangeably in soul points which is a bit confusing. Maybe the same thing with imp and goblin?

very interesting, congratulations!

Great Game! Love it! Maybe one remark: no idea what the experience/leveling is doing. Losing 2% when leaving a fight is kind of odd - it has no impact if you just leveled up.
