So I've actually bought this game when it was on sale but haven't really given it a try yet. I'm guessing it's a roguelike?

Extending on aski3252's comment - it's also brutal. There isn't much handholding at all, and its one of those "knowledge is power" games where you'll be dying a lot before you make any progress.

I highly suggest giving it some honest efforts before deciding it isn't your speed. I refunded this game after hating it for 15m, watched some videos that are aimed at new players / highlight wand mechanics, and then immediately purchased it again / threw 40 hours into the title since. I haven't yet won a run, but I know it's going to be fulfilling when I do, and this game opens up so much freedom once you understand the rules & constraints of the physics.

You can also mod down the difficulty. I tend to play with a mod that provides a slow health regen.

Yes, what makes it special is a sort of pixel based physics engine. Liquids, gasses, etc are simulated pixel by pixel, so chemical reactions and destruction of the world are simulated in a pretty cool way.

This game is crazy. It has SO many weird interactions between wand stats, spells, perks, potions, items, you think you're going crazy.

But once you know, oh boy is this a beast of a witch sim. The sky (and hell, and parallel worlds) is the limit. Unite the suns, son.
