The game is wonderful, no dispute there. That being said, using the phone for solo play is cumbersome and slows the experience. I know it was designed this way for multiplayer, but the option to play solo is built in so...

Feels like BG3 and Jackbox had a baby, and definitely scratches that TTRPG itch.

My wife isn't much of a gamer but she loved this game. After we beat it she wanted me to give it only 4 stars. When I asked her why, she said, "Because its over..."

The game requires all players to have a smart phone to access the game's controller app. The app is free to download and it turns your device into your personalized and constantly updating character sheet. Easy set-up and it has never given any connectivity issues. The story and characters are very charming. The boardgame vibes are immaculate. Think For The King but with an interesting controller gimmick. Also, to play with people online you can stream the game and have the connect via QR code

Easier than learning d&d and dealing with set up. Also can force dialogue and teamwork with family. Rarely there is a bug when syncing phone initially but corrects after closing apps and re opening. Great game!
