About the game

A unique RPG where instead of becoming stronger, you get weaker as you go along. Demitri is a hero who already completed his journey. He is already powerful, so combat is complex and strategic from the start! The theme revolves around death and acceptance. Written by a therapist, the story is made help you think about what you cannot control. Age, death, loss... these are all things we must accept in our lives.

Overall, I am enjoying this game. The battle mechanics are fun and the storyline (so far!) is engaging. Without getting too much into it, it's an exploration of death and as that, it succeeds. There are two things that I would point out in the interest of fairness. 1) The aging (getting weaker) mechanic is basically the reason I bought the game. It seemed like a very interesting idea. I practice, I can't say the…

This game was a journey: much like life, I suppose, it started out fairly interesting and then became progressively more tedious, difficult, and even punishing. But what started as a simple resolution to not let yet another game in my library go unfinished transformed into grim determination: to push Demitri, this proud old man terrified of failure,…

Concept sounded interesting but game was too slow to get started, there were too many combat options I didn't know what to do with from the start which feels a bit overwhelming. I just followed the instructions which didn't feel tactical either, not to mention you can still win fights without tactics, I guess you'll pay for it later though. Combat wasn't all that interesting to me, but I'm not a huge fan of this…
