Orb of Creation

This is an extremely hesitant recommendation. I'm not even sure if I'll finish this. If you're looking for pure "number go up" mellow vibes like Universal Paperclips, Cookie Clicker, or Birb, you're probably in the wrong place. In my view, this is MUCH more akin to something like [b]Cultist Simulator[/b]. You are thrown headfirst into a series of systems that you have no understanding of, which are barely explained to you, and asked to tease them out into something useful. You will not be shown or told the correct next move. You'll be expected to tinker, prod and fumble your way through largely on your own. That CAN be a great deal of fun; there's some interesting systems and nice moments, and there is a satisfaction to "breaking through" to the next layer of the system lasagna. I do feel there are some balance issues. As others have said, Agronomy is a complete ache. Also seems like mana generation is a little underwhelming at the moment; you'll often find yourself with nothing to do but stare at your screen for a few seconds, sometimes longer, just waiting for mana. That's not super fun. I also feel that the "power level" system doesn't quite work the way the dev wants it to. Breaking through to the next casting level should feel like a reward, like a big, satisfying moment where all your spells double in power. However, I actually find I've come to dread increasing my casting level, as it comes with a lot more waiting around for mana to recharge. I'm gonna tentatively hope that the dev will fix these issues in time. There's no getting around the fact that OoC is well-made and novel, and will certainly find a fan base.
