decently fun way to kill an hour, but the incredibly heavy rng of the game can be rage inducing at best. the amount of times i would find new gear, equip it, and have it permanently destroyed in the very next fight first turn was extremely upsetting and left me thinking "why even give it to me then?"
some mechanics are poorly explained, such as consumables, it took me 4 failed runs to realize ectoplasm's were potions since every one i ate did nothing, and having beaten the game i still don't know if the white and blue ectoplasms even have an effect or if it's just a "gotcha" which would be weird since ectoplasm's effects don't change between runs.
Thank you for checking out the game. Ah yes the game is admittedly very obtuse, partly by design, although I can see why it would be frustrating. As far as the Ectoplasms, I don't know if you tried the "balm" command, but that is what I would recommend. Thank you again for leaving your thoughts.
