I like some of the trailer/animation stuff, but you're totally right that practically zero gameplay footage is a serious oversight.

Had the same issue, but even the gameplay trailer I found was not helpful to understand the pull, idea or appeal. I'm not saying the game isn't good or worth it, but in past games the basic gameplay loop idea was clearer. Is this some isometric turn based battle game?

Absolutely. Scrolled through all the images and had zero idea what the game even was. Thought it was a pet cat simulator or something.

Early access is the beta test?

I sunk a couple hours into it today, pretty good stuff so far, though strategy games aren't usually my forte so I'm just full sending cats out at random lmao

It's unmistakably an Edmund game, that's for sure.

EDIT: Aaaand refunding, because holy fuck dude (Dogshit article, especially that it still tries to frame Israel's genocide as a "conflict", but the words taken right from McMillen's mouth are enough to toss this game right into a dumpster)

Only an hour or so, but seems pretty good. Seems deceptively deep

Its from the guy who also made super meat boy and the binding of isaac so... yeah, that tracks

It’s a turn based roguelike with tactical grid combat and cats.
