This is my first roguelite game, and I'm glad that it is. I'm more familiar with the JRPG and RPG systems, and at first, this game was difficult for me because of the changing equipment, dungeon maps, and permadeath. However, because of the characters, music, design, and most importantly, the theme revolving around mental health and reconnection, I was eager to learn the basics and how roguelite works, how it was supposed to be difficult at first. This game trains you to adapt and learn to use what you have in hand at the moment to your best advantage. Putting that aside, the conversations with the characters felt real, and the characters themselves are distinctive, really resonating the upgrade/buff they provide for Cassidy. There are some upgrades from the dungeon improvement, meditation, and sketches that I don't feel like I need to be able to complete all 7 floors, but they provide good support for people with different play styles. Overall, I'm glad this is my first roguelit...
