“Gives you a bit of a focus to what you’re doing” says Tom as he doesn’t have anything in the entire video in focus.

I could not see ANY of the cards Tom showed in the preview 🤣 BUT I TRUST YOU TOM

“I’ll eat the vine” might be the strongest sandbox mechanic ever.

Thanks so much for the great review!!! And, to Tom, we actually did have duplicate encounters at what point, but what we found was that when they came up, it became a matter of do the other thing from the last encounter. It also lessened the number of stories across the game, but always worth considering!!!

I'm glad Travis was able to team up with Indie Boards and Cards to actually get this design out to the public. Hopefully Forsaken follows suit soon!

Until this game I only backed big crowded funded projects that I know are basically a preorder. But I loved everything about this game and couldn't resist. Know nothing about Trevor, but I could feel his passion and honestly that's what sold me. Clicked on this review with nervous apprehension, but it made me excited to get my copy - soooo glad I took a chance !!!

I'm excited, I backed it and just need it to be delivered. Thanks for the great review. I'm glad you guys liked it!

Waiting for my pledge to deliver!

Can't wait for this to arrive. You needed so much more publicity during the campaign! Hope this game will shine as it should, ... but I also admit, as new to the hobby with a collection of common games, I'm excited to get my hands on something rarer :)

Waiting excitedly for this one to deliver. It looked so fun at the campaign stage I had to back it. Hoping it does well at retail as I feel the kickstarter should have had way more traction.

Oh man, this is exactly the kind of game I like playing. Let's see if Santa will be able to get this one to me 🤞

I wish for dice tower using more of the green screen effect in videos so it's easy to see cards etc

Blind guy fighting the darkness is brutal XD

@StevenStJohn-kj9eb 7 days ago

Very clever touch - showing us the backstory of the blind character completely out of focus!

If this came to crowdfunding back during my peak of backing 10+ projects a year, I definitely would have backed this. But these days, I was right on the edge and fell on the side of "wait and see" in the end. Very cool to see that the game worked out! Will almost definitely back it if/when they do a reprint/more content campaign!
