Good mechanics, cool concept, though the looping can take a bit too long.

This game is fun, it encourages you to think creativly and find specific ways of solving a problem. There are multiple ways to get to a solution, but as you play you find that there were better ways to acomplish your goal. Fun RP game with simple mechanics

The narrative experience the game promises ultimately becomes undone by repetition: of locations, of outcomes, of challenges and of solutions.
Places you care about often hide in the "I'll be here in 20 mins" category making many missions about as satisfying as waiting for an Amazon delivery.
The openness still feels railroaded because there's no plot relevance for the majority of your actions. There is an abundance of choice, but meaning remains scarce.
That said, I almost didn't write this because the game is full of love and polish. There are many mechanics that work well and I enjoyed my time with it - albeit, short. So, I would recommend if you don't mind games that feel too "hand-holdy".
PS: The swap card mechanic needs rethought because we cannot see the actions of the card we swap to, so it's essentially guessing when a particular card is needed.
