Do you want to see a Reto-ween series of this when it is out Oct 19th? Let me know!
YES YES YES!!! I saw this game in other Chanel and first thought was to look if you had played it already, i was sure you would love it
Yes please
Ye
Only if you promise not to get scared.
Absolutely
I hope I'm not the only one that would reeeeeeeeeeeally like to see the rest of this
I’d totally be down. Seems like a really interesting game.
Hell yeah. Pony island was great and this seems even better
I pre-purchased it :)
Retro isn’t making misplays, he’s just doing 200 IQ 4D chess plays so that people in the comment section give his videos more interactions
He got me the other day
I've been looking forward to this game, didn't know it was coming out next month. "Sacrifices Must be Made" was really interesting, this has a lot of potential.
I saw the video manly made playing it.
Honestly this game feels like it could be one of the best roguelike card games since it less banks on being a "roguelike card game" and instead itself lol
Interesting demo, hope to see more od this. Seconda puzzle battle hurt a bit, to me it was obvious that the reason for missing damage is unknown symbol, lizard dropping it tail because of danger, so not attacking it seemed logical.
@@hugofontes5708 Exactly. The problem there was that he didn´t fully understand the play area. He didn´t pay attention when the... shadow guy explained about "seeing the next move".
Yeah, Retro quickly passes through the rulebook after the 2nd puzzle and there is an explanation, apparently, hitting the creature with that lizard tail icon drops a 'tail' on the spot, and the creature moves to a spot to the right, so the lizard thing was blocking 2 spaces basically.
On the second puzzle, he tried every combination/solution except the correct one and I was dying laughing. Mostly because I did the same thing the first time I was trying it out. xD
Bit of a shame he didn't die more though, he missed out on some of the content because of it.
to unlock the second drawer, the 1st row must go unblocked avoid attacking the second row and then attack both 3rd and 4th row
this game was once called "A sacrifice must be made" and if i loved it at that time, now i love it even more
**Sacrifices Must Be Made*
God this is a demo? It's such a fun concept!
You made the Stoat my favorite character with the undying sigil you gave it. Just a snarky fella
Oh dang, this was riveting. Loved the snarky stoat (and "it's my comment section!")
I love horror when it isn't cheap, and I'd love to see more of this
Wow, this demo is way more in-depth than I was aware of. My own fault, I didn't think of dying.
die more, trust me ;) i'm on my forth death rn
there's more
The Prospector theme is so good. This game is absolutely nutty.
I wonder how the escape room portion will retain replayability? Game seems full of surprises so I'm sure they'll pull it off
Hmm maybe they will randomize the answers and the quests each time so that you wouldnt do the exact same steps evsry time you play
21:48 for the record, that's actually scripted to have you lose. its a super challenging encounter, and even if you did manage to defeat it, before that happens the game would appear to glitch out and fill the enemy's board with grizzlies and just not die
Yeah, I restarted the game twice because I was dead set on beating that fight. I laughed so hard when the board with bears lol.
Yeah… glitch a turn if you win (he fills the board with bears and your dps is invalid) and if you kill the bear then more appears…
16:03 eyes of the happy squirrel goes full oO
I'm impressed you won so soon without at least killing the mule
I think I'm legit going to buy a game because of a stoat.
Did you buy it? You might be a bit disappointed.
@@KrakenG927 I have been spending all my money on engine parts for my truck and dog food lately so no new games. I'm still enjoying watching it though.
I was praying you would play this!!!! I'm an OG fan of yours but have been gone for awhile and happy to see this when I came back!
I remember playing this game's demo, Sacrifices Must Be Made. It was really good.
Possible Puzzle solution?:
When the tail sigil dies in the puzzle it was blocking the 3 damage attack. need to have an attack in every lane and pull back the creature attacking the tail.
sigils given to cards on the sacrfice stone do NOT replace sigils a card already has, so you can stack sigils onto a card to give MANY powers
SEEING YOU NOT SACRIFICING THE STOAT THAT FIRST GAME MADE ME HAPPY THANKS
Please Make A Series I Love This Game & You Playing It.
a full series of this would be pretty neat
In case you were wondering killing the mule would have given you a bunch of cards.
Does anybody know what's with the lights and sounds by the door ? I thought it was morse code, but I got gibberish out of it
the mushroom merely denotes if you have that card already in your deck
Really cool game and very interesting art style. I like it. Thanks for the show case!
I really enjoyed this, so happy you played it! I hope when it's out to see much more of it too, even if I'm definitely considering getting it myself, I'd still watch!
I absolutely love the idea of integrating an actual story and escape room mechanics into a deck builder roguelite!
Although I do wonder if it's going to affect the replayability factor.. maybe they'll let you turn it off after you beat the game if you want. Who knows, maybe it's they find a way to keep it fun after the first go 'round.
This game has soooo much personality. Looks like a really fun take on the genre.
Everyone I've seen won the final boss first try. Had no clue there was more if you die. Wonder how far it goes in the demo
There's even more if you die a second time. It *is* rather sad that content creators somehow all ended up winning on the first or second try, since they all missed out on some sweet new mechanics, cards, and encounters.
@@Polygonetwo Yep. Have you run into other player cards? The ones I've found are "Kaycee" and "Reginald". They're rather generic names, so I'm unsure if they are computer generated or tied to a light multiplayer system. Or if they're CPU as a placeholder for a multiplayer system
@@link8253 i have not. Those are probably pre built or procedurally generated, if i had to guess. Multiplayer just doesn't seem worth the effort to code in for this game.
Man this game has come so far from the first demo. I’m actually going to get this game and going to watch your play throughout. It was originally really bare bones but I loved the horror aspect.
It seems like the mule card is actually glued over a brick or something
picking the scissor after trying the pliers seems brave
So at 19:00 time frame. That boss is unwinnable. I set it up to quick win before his bears were out. I used both squirells and the pliers to do it. Since I was going to deal 3 damage and I needed 4 to win, the pliers were perfect to get the win. As I ended turn, the game did this glitch thing (not actual glitch, just part of the game) and his board was filled with bears before my attack went off lmao. If you pick the right cards to win, the demo makes sure you don't win. You have to lose the fight lol.
Dude really sees his own angry-looking, growling wolf and says "look at it cowering in fear"
That cutscene at the end reminded me of Shivvers
"what's this feeling" said the dungeon master as reality crumbles
So cool
Thanks for showing the game
19:25
Ah yes, the classic Leaping Tree. Birds which approach this tree are slam dunked into the ground because fuck you.
I dont know how much it matters incase your curious Retromation I did manage to beat the game without losing the first time around nothing extra or special in the demo so no hidden stuff in winning against the prospector first time
this was so good that it made me download the demo for myself
The way you treated the stoat made me sad 😔
does anyone know if there will be pvp in the finished game? this looks like it would be fun to play against someone with.
cockrach ability in your death card and it becomes op, it doesnt replace it
I would listen to the advice of the talking cards. They arent just throwing nonsense, their advice is actually helpful for the bosses.
there's something under the pack mule, bet killing it gives you a puzzle piece
It gives a whole mess of cards to help you fight the boss. You aren't meant to beat it without killing the mule, but retro got a really good set of stats on their death card. xD
Damn... I can't wait for the 19th now lol! 😮
Very interested in this. Wishlisted and hoping for a series.
There's more to the story than meets the eye. Return to the demo. Perish to the boss and return to the beginning. Investigate the painting of the board. Investigate the totems, the trapper, and the trader. More cards and more secrets await.
lose many times and the board shifts as well. Cards begin to transform too, the stout slowly morphs into something else as you keep losing
IT'S FINALLY OUT LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO!
I spoke to soon. And now I have more reason to look forward to October.
This is amazing game design
What a clever way to throw a trailer in your demo. I am curious for the overarching story. I do wish it wasn't so dark tho. Maybe it's me tho
Wow, you really sold me on this game!
Hmm why didn't you sacrifice your river snapper instead your wolf? better having a 2-6 then 4-2?
46:02 Have 5 on the left side on the pieces.
Hope you play the full games once it's out
oooh i know this from the game jam back in whatever!
Funny enough I had a bug in the game jam version wich leaded to a not nihilistic ending
This game looks really cool. Not too interested in the card game aspect but the room escape parts reminds me of one of my favorite point-and-click series of all time, the Cube Escape games. I just hope it doesn't have any more of that 2011 creepypasta-esque "memory card full" elements, it kind of dated/ruined the horror imo. Would love to see more of this!
Both of Daniel Mullins previous games were very dark too. He's very good at messing with gamers heads. Day one for me.
"I end my turn" this gets me hard 😂
the more you lose in this dem,o the more the board changes and the STOUT card begins to morph as well, after a few loses he grows extra necks and its head becomes more and more square in shape. There is so much hidden away in the demo it's insane. Cant wait for the full game
I would like to see more episodes of this and it is fun to watch
This has come a long way since last i looked at it
this game would be good in vr
YO INSCRYPTION. Been waiting for this.
You should challenge the secret boss
this game is interesting, but i wonder how it's supposed to maintain the replayability of a roguelike with what seems to be a linear narrative, etc.
Is more like a roguelite, probably will be like Hades
Moooorrreeee!!! Favorite one to date.
Mushroom means its already in your deck
the "mushroom" meant that you already had the card...
I want more horror roguelikes
Check out Golden Light if you haven't already. It's crazy
Reto. Would you ever go back to doing a full playthrough of GRIME. I wanted your general opinion on the game.
Reminds me of what hand of fate wanted to be
Is it on ps4?
okay die haben zwei bosse rausgespoilert im trailer
The best demo.that i see from a very interesting game
"hello? (With trepidation) Are you alive?" 😂 Also I wanted to like the question about this and reto-ween... But it was at 69 so... Nice
2:55 you win if you tip my side of the scale. like this.
is that gonna be a spoiler?
thought losers would die
God this is a really cool game
this is really cool
Wish they would make a mobile version of this game
Love to see more
can u sacrifice da cat twice?
would be really convenient to sacrifice him multiple times for one unit, i don't know though.
It really amazed me
Hand of fate vibes...
yes
I'm a simple man. I see a stoat in the thumbnail, I click.
About 11 minutes in...a FLYING stoat? That's literally me!
Hello
