Quotes (from this video)
- and I do apologize if I mispronounced any of those names
- what this game is is this is an adventure game that is super family-friendly in which you are taking on the role of these four pets here Jane Freya clay and Roman as you are trying to find out what happened to Jane's owner
- this is a adventure game that will take place on small cards here and has a little bit of a Euro style Resource Management that you are using to take on this adventure
- you can change this at any time the designers recommend if you feel like a mission is particularly easy you can up the level of difficulty or if you feel like it is perhaps too hard then you can lower it at any time that you see fit
- the game does come with a save game ability and the way that works is is you have these small envelopes one for each character and what you'll do is You're simply going to with the pencil which is provided in the Box you're simply going to Mark what level the character is what their current HP is that's very important because less otherwise stated HP carries over from one fight to the next how much luck you have what chapter you're on and what the three charms that you are using happen to be
- this is something that you can simply erase and use over and over again
- since this is paid content I do not give you any of my opinions on the game
