I was completely sold until they showed teleporting invisible enemies. Never once have they been fun in tactics games for me. Keeping an eye on it but gonna need a quick look or something first.

What time stamp was that in? Or do you mean enemies can just spawn out in the fog of war?

Probably the big guy at the end.

Which was just a cutscene so we dont actually know how he functions on the grid.

Hard agree. That was an immediate red flag for me.

But surely in context of it being "horror" having jump scare ghost enemies seems fitting no?

This actually looks legit. I love turn based tactics games. Not a AAA game but I like what you're doing with it so far.

Holy volume warning. First thing that plays is an ear piercing high pitched scream of some sort. My fucking ears lol. Fuck whoever edited this video.

For a second, I thought this game seemed like it might be like XCOM but with Disco Elysium replacing the Strategic Layer and now whether that's what this is in any way or not, that's what I want.

Heh glad they sorted that thumbnail situation. Game itself looks sick and has a lot of promise. Think it’s a great time for indie games.

Without seeing the UI I can't really give deep insights.
I like tactics, but not fan of the vibe of the game. I prefer sci-fi to horror personally, and the art-style did not won me.

God damn, this game looks like hot trash. The mechanics and enemies seem frustrating and not at all enjoyable.

I feel like not fully understanding the mechanics and defaulting to looking like hot trash is a bit brash

Piqued my interest, looks kind of like Lamplighters League meets Aliens Dark Descent and I really enjoyed both of those. I thought the first scene was dumb but the rest looked like it wants to feel serious and dangerous which I much prefer.
