This isn't really worthy of 1 star or 5 stars. I'm inclined to agree that there isn't very much noteworthy or particularly interesting about this game, but it's a functional program, which is more than a lot of other games can say. The game itself is okay, and while inspired by Slay the Spire, it doesn't exactly play like it. However, it's very barebones and it's not particularly engaging. There is a wide amount of content, but the depth is negligible, and the lewd part of the game is just a single sentence for every creature followed by a single static image. The art, while functional, is fairly soulless in its implementation and appearance, but at the very least, it's baked into the reward system and it's unobtrusive. The cards themselves aren't particularly interesting. While play order can be important, this game doesn't really have in-depth combos since energy appears to be rather limited and effects are generally linear and one-note. For the complaints about the Slay vs Lay, it's not really all that important. The rewards of each fight don't particularly alter your deck in a groundbreaking way, and unlocking a CG is good for those who prefer keeping their decks thin. But considering how boring the Lay part of the game is, you're not really missing out on anything if you just choose the rewards every single time.

Couldn't really agree more with billyum0. The choice to either get a reward after a battle OR see the cg reward is unbelievably stupid, or at least feels horrible and I'm not sure what inspired that choice. The fights drag on and bore you to tears, and if you dare to not choose reward, I sure hope you love being bored because the next fight will be with the same boring deck but last even longer . Any positive thing that could be said about this game is completely sullied by core design choices that sink the whole concept. Also not sure what 1st review means but there's a billion Slay the Spire clones, and at least 10 smutty ones at this point, so this is nothing new and is a crying shame next to Succubus Forest or even LUNA.

This game should not have a 5 star rating. Im against ai but i need to state the gameplay and art does not justify this high of rating. Imagine if you asked ai to make slay the spire. Ends up being a hollow mess with so little variation in gameplay. User interface again clearly ai generated where no of the buttons or interface react or do anything for the user design. Also the idea of having to either get rewards or cg is soooo stupid. Like the goal is to get the cgs but it actively hinders runs so it conflicts with the gameplay loop. i either try and get cgs and lose or actually win but get zero cgs. Try fixing up the game first before just adding another tone of images to the game.

I think it's a promising game; it would be even better if the developers added a little more love and creativity. The slay or lay option is a nice touch; it requires sacrifice. The spider boss is too powerful; it could be nerfed a bit.

Neural network creations do not deserve the right to exist. You need to learn to draw with your hands. Anyone can take a neural network and generate such images endlessly. There is no value in such games.

A good card battle game that works well, with interesting cards and various effects on them. For a demo release, I'd say it's decent and smooth. The AI art is pleasant and has a consistent style, although it's quite simple compared to the newer AI art iterations. A game with this kind of gameplay is very rare; there are only a few full Steam releases of card battle games. I really liked this game and wish it success. So, I hope to see this game released on Steam, rather than abandoned here.
