So disappointed. Why oh why is this not just a regular point and click adventure game, rpg, or hell even a visual novel. The art style and atmospherics are the stuff of greatness, but what's the game?

The art style and atmospherics are the stuff of greatness, but what's the game? Basically just a digital implementation of the Arkham/Eldritch Horror board game system with a shitload of added complexities and further randomizations on top of it. Why? For "replayability", I suppose. Well, it's not particularly replayable when I don't even feel like finishing my first playthrough now is it? You don't even explore the locations you "investigate" you just click a button that says that you do, and then it rolls a random event. Another victim of garbage modern rogue-lite design practices overextending and infecting genres and themes they have nothing to contribute to.

I had an absolute blast with this on the PC game pass once the frequent crashes were fixed.
There’s not currently much to it given that I already seem to know the game inside and out, but I can’t wait for it to be expanded upon. Both the visuals and music - especially the music - have a way of getting under your skin. I’ve been unnerved all week with tracks pirouetting in my head. The overload of imagery, of which so much is of a ‘hidden horror in plain sight’ nature, scares me in spite of my general resistance to most horror. The UI initially overwhelms and the gameplay initially underwhelms, but even after successful runs, I’ve found it difficult to pry myself away.
Anyone else tried it?

I am tempted to pick this up in Early Access. Although I might ultimately want this on Switch, it looks like it might play better on a computer rather than a console. And the aesthetic transports me back to the good 'ol days of Mac gaming, so playing in front of a keyboard and screen might be most fitting.
