I must say, the artwork in this game is absolutely stunning. It’s clear that a great deal of care has gone into its creation. From the animations and sound to the gameplay, everything feels incredibly well-integrated. It certainly has the potential to be developed into a full-fledged game. πŸ—‘οΈβœ¨βœ¨

I’ll keep adding updates and leave the game free here. I never planned to sell it.
I just want more people to try it and share feedback to help improve future updates.

Game look really really good! All of the animation feels so good too! But The UI is too small tho...  Also i'm a sucker for CRT-scanline filter :3

Love this game! The aesthetic of this game is really cool, combine with the gameplay as incremental dice rolling it makes super great game. Great job! ✨
Also I would say the UI is quite hard to read, especially on comparison of items. and I think Film Noir is mainly black and white, so you might need to check the limitation again.

Thank you!
You're right about Film Noir. I'll revisit it in a future update.
I tried a black-and-white palette, but it felt like something was missing,
so I decided to go with this color palette instead 🀣
