This is without a shadow of a doubt one of the biggest wastes of my time I have ever undertaken. I have played Anaemeopolis and Pools, both of which are superior experiences to this one. This 'game' feels like a bunch of a empty assets strewn around to walk about in. There is very little atmosphere or events to keep you interested ,it's absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and I would sooner pour vinegar into an open wound than play this again.

0/10.
Do not buy.

Do you like being poisoned?
Then this is the game for you.

This was probably the biggest waste of time I've ever played and I've played Dark and Darker. <3

Very good, creepi.

I have like a trillion hours in DD1 and I have tried so damn hard to like this.
But it's just absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ by comparison, and even standalone.
The art and animations are all stellar, the soundtrack slaps.

Wayne June as the narrator is still good but definitely less... impactful the second time around, literally none of these lines are anywhere near as memorable. "Remind yourself" yadayada. I think it's because the narrator in this one is supposed to be nice to you? It's less forboding than the Ancestor.

But oh my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ god they fumbled everything else. It's a tiresome slog to get anywhere, nothing feels permanent or like you're making any real progress at all. It's a tiresome, boring slog through the same encounters and the stagecoach mechanic really doesn't help, it's just a glorified loading screen to the next set piece.

I could go on for hours about how the combat is trash because they've 'dumbed it down' with this token system, the fact that every boss is just a complete shambles because unless you have a very specific team ready at that moment, good ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ luck beating the gimmick.

But the MOST damning thing about this game is that I do not give a single ♥♥♥♥ about any of my party members because they'll either win (and disappear) or die (and disappear). I don't have a stable of Champion level heroes who I can tell stories about. "Oh man this is Billybob the Leper and he went Stalwart at just the right moment and it was epiiiic!"

This whole game just reeks of time-sink much, much more than DD1 and that game was pushing it.
Avoid.
