Shadows Over Loathing

It's still a good game. But I've got reservations. Primarily: This game needed a proper save/loading system. Positives: Still funny, decently fun combat (Though my mysticality playthrough feels nerfed to me). Story is enjoyable. Plenty of wacky hijinks that you'd expect. The dream and curse sequences were great. There's an equipment slot for shoes that does nothing but make you walk differently, and dangit, that's fun. Combat scales a bit weird; No bullet sponges, but enemies hit *you* pretty hard unless you've been improving your resistances and health. Your companions and familiar actually will need a bit of grinding to survive more than 1 hit, most of the time. Still, it's tactical, and neat. The quests are great... except for the stuff that isn't tracked. The game likes having lots of points of no return. That's cool- but some tasks can permanently fail with an accidental keystroke. For the most part, you can always leave a stat/resistance check for later, come back once you've respecc'd. But, *man*, does it feel like a lot of doors shut on you without warning. I know it opens the gates to savescumming, but please, just give us a save slot. Worse, this game is surprisingly long for a completionist, and the game *expects* you to remember certain tasks that *aren't* tracked as sidequests. You can even make your own notes. Even still, I've found myself multiple times leaving the game aside for a few days, coming back, and completely forgetting some minor side content. This affects the endings, too. No to-do list is going to remind you to fix a time paradox. Still a recommend. Good luck. :)

super silly rpg

Worked for the Mafia and helped a guy who's first name is Creamy, absolute cinema.

They say man does not fear the shadows, for what they truly fear is the unknown. And thus I fear Billy the maize protectorate, for I do not know who 𝘪𝘵 is.

I've been a fan of Asymmetric Publications for years now and I fully enjoyed this game, it's well written and made me laugh several times with just item descriptions alone.

Absolutely loved this game. Can't wait for more from the devs.
