@eniko I actually picked it up for a couple months because of this video. Very quirky experience!

@eniko the social systems were neat, very interesting stuff built into character progression for Monks, for example.

But I also found it to be buggy and unintuitive at times. A lot of stuff was just unexplained, so you'd arrive in the world and just feel a bit lost. there's some external learning resources, felt like stepping back to the late 90s web to find them.

I wish I had more energy and time to put into it though, as it was definitely a unique experience.

@eniko That's entirely fair. it's definitely designed as a steep and continuous grind. Like, all the abilities/spells/skills are individually leveled up by usage, not just scaling to your character level. At low levels, they have a strong tendency to /fail/ too, which is a real feel-bad experience.
