The game is great fun once it gets going. I really like the gameplay loop, very engaging and layered, had tons of fun. The game has too much to grasp on the first load tho. The eye rules, card powers, satisfaction threshold, and reward power confused me for a few turns. Could really benefit from presenting either eye rules a turn after, or having tooltips on the first turn. The sound and atmosphere are creepy too, set the vibes nicely!

Thank you for playing! Your feedback is appreciated - I 100% agree with you the onboarding is pretty brutal. I had enough of the game together and asked myself "do I want to make first time players have a better experience or do I want to add some polish and fix the balance issues" and I went with the latter. Honestly I probably could have done both with a couple better tooltip popups like you said or introducing the mechanics more slowly. Maybe next time! I'm just amazed I got a deck builder together in a week that didn't look or play like crap.
I love that you like the audio! The whole game was "I dunno if this is coming together or not" right until the audio. Then BAM I was like "this feels good"
