Played this a couple weeks ago for a bit and lost interest due to the pacing. Would've probably rated it 3-4 stars and "looks promising, will try it again later" at the time if I was thinking about it.

But now that I see that @LoreLover, the person listed as the verified developer of this game...

...wrote themselves a 5 star review glazing it saying "progressing feels very rewarding, and the dark atmosphere reminds me of Dark Souls, Elden Ring and Lovecraft" ...

...and that the game has freemium features, such as offering 20,000 gold for a "discounted 50% off" $9.99...

...I feel compelled to rate this 1 star, both for my dislike of reviewing your own stuff, and my complete lack of faith in the game ever being balanced.

(For the dev: I don't think you're a "bad person" (if you were you'd have been smarter and not verified yourself as the dev lol) but that you're going about some of this in bad ways. If you want an actual critique: If you want to sell that stuff, you're going to have to make it feel worth the price. If it's going to be worth the price, the usual way is that it needs to be both (1) something you need in the game and (2) eliminate a major grind, but the grind here exists almost exclusively to make that pay to win route feel worthwhile; you're signalling to players that the game has parts that are (intentionally!) less fun that you can pay to skip. I hate this shit. just balance your game in a way that respects user's time and sell it on steam.)
