Hadn't heard of this. Reviews are great. Bought - first impressions very good.
Thanks for the recommendation

They do a good job of crafting stories from a set of reusable components. And when you think you've learned the patterns, they change the rules on you. Won't say more for the risk of spoilers beyond that some of the tricks they pull have more effect if you engage with the narrative. But then if you're not the kind of person who is attracted to the narrative, the game probably isn't for you.
I agree with the reviews that say it's surprising how much you can find you have invested in the characters. For which reason, choosing the "carved in stone" option is a risk that I'd recommend you leave until you've played a few stories all the way through.

Came across Wildermyth on Steam recently. XCOM-style tactical RPG, just out of early-access. It's very good.
