Ratings and reviews

So far, an overall simple, yet fun experience. I don't like the battles and how the movement works, perhaps in time I'll get more used to it. Seeing how it's a minigame it's certainly tolerable. Couple of QoL thoughts: * Have a Main menu button after story has completed, before entering new game. * Tweak how fast the scoring summary goes, I like to see each card and the results, but with the multiplier the score can take quite some time to total

achievement and collections are in a weird spot and I've only seen the job list once so Im not sure how to find/activate it. Im also not sure what the big/small circles mean in the values. It's fun but I have to get out of my "What would Gerald do" because I dont think that is how this game is intended

Enjoying the premium experience of great narrative gameplay and no micro transactions. Only thing I wish was different was that there was a bit more to do, like collecting herbs and crafting potions, and that combat had little bit more complexity. Still, as phone game I have to give it 5/5. Goes to same level of polish like Lara Croft Go or Card Thief.
