I was not sure what to expect, but it was not much. Instead it was a very enjoyable and great game! Beautiful drawings, amazing OST with singed songs in very emotional moments, intriguing gameplay mechanics and so on. It has a lore meant to let you understand the strange world you are in, and therefore an higher level of the plot interpretation.
The plot is simple and the storytelling choice is a cold start: at the beginning you don't understand much but you have the interest high due the understanding of the mechanics and the setting. You need the first boss fight to understand what's going on, but it doesn't require much to arrive there.
However, I suspect that the release was premature: up the the secondo boss fight has a style, after it seems too row. Deadline approaching and the will ti give a complete game anyway? Maybe they should have split in two chapters, with half price each, and having more time to complete the second half. But this is my hypothesis and my two cents.
****SPOILER! DON'T READ BELOW****
The first two boss fight are really emotional: sybill in duet during the last round of the fight and the final blow to a crawling creature, "I will find who did this and I will break its heart" and she does in the second boss fight inside a beautiful painting. Both a fight and a final blow to deliver and both fought also against helper. Then come the third "boss": both suicide and not much a hard level to reach them. And the fourth and final boss: trivial and alone. Plus at the beginning you have a simple puzzle to solve with the turn(), but then no more. I suspect that there should have been more puzzles, the third boss would have been an Asher that attack you because willingly to die because grant suicided, Asher would have gave some explanation before the fight (and not everything told by Royce at the end), and Royce would have spawn the creature in the background (maybe some of the characters in the cards). I guess Supergiant didn't have more time
