Roll the dice and embrace your fate!

Enter a world shrouded in darkness, ruled by the Lich, where every choice matters, and success depends on the clever use of trinkets and an arsenal of weapons as you fight your way to his throne.

Pretty cool, excellent art and music.
A little bit of story or context for the world would be a good thing to add.

Copies too much from Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon. The RNG of attacks is unpleasant. Good art and music.

I love this game. It has a cool art style.

Love the demo. Can't wait for the full release. The snake dagger is insane. Late game once i have tons of trinkets, it is literally OP. once you get a crit, every trinket gets you a ghost d4 on the board?! say you have a ton of stuff on the board, then use the trinket that gives you bones equal to the items on the board. Now you have a ton of bones in the tray. throw each in there and get -1 per but then dagger rolls a ghost d4 for each. worst case, you get a 1 so the bone negates it. but 75% chance you get better than a 1. and if you have a way to reroll 1s like the eyepatch, forget about it. overkill trophy is a piece of cake with the snake dagger. anyways, love the game.

Full screen (first of all, and thanx)
simple and captivating
makes good use of mathematics and probability intuition

well done , go ahead pls :)
