Early Access Review
I want to promote and recommend this game for its creativity and neat mechanics however, it still has a long way to go.

My review is going to focus on potential improvements directed at the devs:
(you won't gain much as a potential player by reading my review)

• Maybe lock most crafting/inventory options at the start of the game. It is incredibly hard to focus on what is important if I have a tutorial to a menu and mechanics that I have never seen in action. (together with better tooltips you might not have to invest too much into tutorials and extensive explanations)

• Improve Tooltips and cover all keywords: I can't judge some of the guardians' skills due to this -> Have a look at Paradox Games' Tooltips they do this really well.

• You NEED a bug report feature. I have a very low amount of playtime and I faced multiple game breaking bugs. Especially save/load does currently lead to several bugs (not all relevant data is serialized)

• I believe you should per default allow to inspect enemies (on right click). The right click which is already used for inspection in the menu should be used for the same functionality in combat.

• Your game would highly benefit from a combat log -> there are a lot of passive abilities and other interactions which I searched for in the character description. I still haven’t found some of them (affinity).

• I haven’t got a clue how to counterplay the ghosts’ dodging of my active abilities during dream-map movement. Maybe I am clueless, maybe this needs to be worked on.

• The reward system is not very transparent.

• Music could use smoother transitions.

I would recommend working on existing- and quality of life features. The game already has a healthy amount of content to play with, which I enjoyed.

Hey LappenLord,

first of all... Thanks for the review !

Your highlights are kind of a consolidation of multiples echoes, and I'm very inclined to tackle them all, and much before the final release !

cheers.
