When I get off work I'll do a run with all spess characters

I saw this in the store, looks interesting but apparently it quickly loses its challenge

Saw it on youtube, looks neat but looks like it's only got a few hours in it at best

not if you are a completionist like me and want a perfect 60/60 run

Spess game soon, each house will represent a spess faction

Admins
Graytide
Lizards
Waifus
Powergamers

So how the game works: You have a cult composed of five houses, each known for a certain virtue. Each house has villagers, each with virtues and sins. Every season you choose one advisor from each house, and those advisers carry out their duties. Every season, one of those advisers must DIE. Preferably the ones with the greatest sins that don't piss too many people off.

WE HAVE

The Admins, in charge of Discipline:
Spoiler:

The Gray Tide, in charge of Fervor:
Spoiler:
Image
The Powergamers, in charge of Ignorance:
Spoiler:
Image
The Lizards, in charge of Penitence:
Spoiler:
Image
And the Waifus, in charge of Obedience.
Spoiler:
Image
And here are five advisors, with whom I shall min-max, though I actually fucked up by not picking anyone with known negative traits for a sacrifice, oh well:

Also we didn't rat Sasha Kalinka out when her daughter revealed her bad letter writing habits and the Waifu clan was happy about that.

As predicted we have a bit of a problem. I got piss unlucky with reveals so we only know one person's sins, and vaguely at that. Sacrifices will piss off their respective house a fuckton unless they have known, sever sins. They also affect stats but that is not a problem quite yet.

WHO SHALL WE SACRIFICE, IT IS YOUR CHOICE

probably the best choice

The screen you see here shows all the house standings and stats. We have also received a dream from Nar-Nar Chernobog, and he will kill us if our Penitence is not high.

gimme suggestions on advisers

I don't know what it means by having "ignorant" under my name but that made me laugh

One season later. I fucked up and now Fervor is super low, but that doesn't matter because I think we all know the correct sacrifice here

WEEEEEEEEEEE HAVE A PROBLEM BOYS

we sacrificed Klara, however since we have sacrificed two powergamers, House Powergamer is enraged. I will now attempt to get them un-enraged or else we lose

for reference's sake Ignorance is super fucking low, Fervor and Penitence are getting there, and House Powergamer is still not happy with us and if we sacrifice their guy, gg

actually every choice here is probably gg

I didn't get screencaps but tl;dr: I sacrificed Phoebe and we lived, but I couldn't get ignorance high enough so we all died

rip

(for the record Mekhi would have been GG immediately as we sacrificed two powergamers in a row previously)

I bought it thinking it will be like King of Dragon pass, but it's just a resource management puzzle game in disguise. Refund, thumbs down.

it's pretty open about being a resource management game so idk what you were expecting
