I cannot praise this game, or the Developers, enough. I backed the game on Kickstarter and have had the pleasure of being involved in the Beta and SuperSecretBeta testing phases, and in communication with the Devs to give direct feedback. For those unaware, about two dozen testers were directly emailed by the CEO of Thunder Lotus Games and invited to participate in a secret phase of testing, called the SuperSecretBeta, with access to the full game, for the purpose of direct final feedback for final game balance and adjustments in a Discord channel with the entire Thunder Lotus dev team. Special shout out to Med and Ian who always seemed to be around to talk to the testers! The entire experience has been amazing, the game itself has been solid all the way back to the Alpha, and has only become better and better as patches have come in to add content and rebalance portions of the game, on some days of the SuperSecretBeta we would have 4-5 patches within a few hours. The Devs are very receptive to feedback and are a fun, friendly group to be involved with. They value our opinions and took what we said to heart in their rebalancing all the way to the end of the Beta period. As for the game itself, it is a riveting, haunting tale of humanity, courage, desparation, temptation, corruption, and salvation. Your choices affect the way the game plays out, and there's really no bad choice to make. All the outcomes are well implemented and thought out, and provide a compelling story. The art is gorgeous, screenshots I've taken during my testing have become my new desktop backgrounds and lock screens. The music is hauntingly beautiful, I've found myself just sitting and listening to the haunting strings so many times. The minibosses are fun and challenging, while the region bosses are EPIC confrontations requiring skill and thinking outside the box, I don't think I've had more fun on boss fights in a very long time. Please, do yourself a favor and buy this game. It's already a masterpiece, and I am eager to see what plans they have for DLC in the future, more of this game could never be a bad thing. I've already played to 100% completion on both Resist and Embrace during the SuperSecretBeta, and I can't wait to do it again now that it's on full release and see the new content come!
