[h1] Feito 100% [/h1] Divertido, em promoção fica entre uns 6 e 20 conto, não recebe mais atualizações desde 2020, então os bugs provavelmente nunca serão resolvidos, mesmo assim é divertido.
Another evil place management sim, though we don’t have enough of good ones. Unfortunately this title is good enough, but not as good as it should have been. So gameplaywise it’s a management sim - indirect control similar to dungeon keeper or rimworld where you cannot really decide what your creatures will do, just kinda suggest their actions with tasks assigned. Here you manage a monster house - and ofc it has to get monster habitants, your job is to make sure they are fed, entertained and have place to sleep, besides that they should be able to man workstation that are needed to develop your mansion and be able to hunt humans that come to visit. Yes, one of main mechanics is attraction of human visitors and hunting them, making sure that none escape, cause otherwise more dangerous elements will come and from hunters become hunted. Got to balance attraction to make regular visitors happen, but not too much for monster hunters. But as mentioned most of the time you’d need to do resource gathering and producing to progress further, which could become grindy as time passes, cause more end gamey stuff requires ridiculous amount of mats. Oh, almost forgot - monster types differ greatly being good at specific things, so while having all skellies is possible, it’s inadvisable. Graphic style might remind “Don’t starve”, while a bit less detailed design that is still conveying that gothic creepy but also cartoony feeling. Despite blockiness of characters, they are made distinct enough to not confuse zombie with mummy, vampire or frankenstein, which is a show of good artists involved. Audio is fine enough with both sounds and music, keeping mostly with cartoonish creepy gothic atmosphere. Plot? Is there even one? To be honest cannot remember any, not much of an issue though, cause of what this game is. So all in all game is nice enough, but… it just does not have lot of content and what to do. Also there are bugs that are not being fixed at all and not much of replayability since you essentially could see everything it has to offer in one playthrough.

Desearia que lo retomaron, tiene un muy buen juego
Um dos melhores jogos de gerenciamento que já joguei. Acho a temática de controlar lacaios e ser um vilão muito boa; o jogo é realmente muito divertido.
Я плевал в рот Хняч. А резать мое имя на своем теле действительно ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ идея, ЗДОРОВЬЯ всем куколдам!
Abandoned, unfinished, don't buy.
A real pleasure to build your evil mansion and fill it with traps, while making cozy rooms for your minions. The game could use some more content, as once you have fully set up your base, the game just loops endlessy without any other objective. Still, entertaining enough.
