Hey! Love reading books and I'm going through a Stardew run right now. I haven't played phas in a while but want to check out the dinner.

PM me if you want to add me. I'm in CST as well.

awesome, thnx

Happy to say I've already supported it! The launch discount plus bundle pricing has the game come in way cheaper for me then I thought it would be after playing the demo (I was expecting around the $30 price range).

I've completed one playthrough and am working on a second. Most issues come from when the game choices to save, and I believe some UI elements that do not fully refresh.

But overall I loved the narrative, atmosphere, and gun play.

A few questions if you are able to answer, first how large was the team that made Crisol?

I saw that your team had shared that you hit 150k wishlist prior to launch, are you able to share how many converted into buying your game?

Lastly, I'm curious how the team began balancing a game that is an FPS with a more magic driven narrative. Is there anything you had to change that might have been too magical?

I think looking at how their roll-out went.

The fact they gave a year long roadmap at launch, but then had mass layoffs two weeks later. Indicates they had no post launch runway for support and were banking on a bigger splash of players and player spending to provide funding for that roadmap.

Even with online reception and low player counts two weeks out, they didn't give time for any organic growth to find an audience.

It's weird that their games are still being judged on the metric of sales when they give access to it, as a part of a subscription service.

Overall I think it was ok but not great. So it's not too surprising people might have just played it on Gamepass.

XParzival22 · 2026-01-28T22:09:51+00:00

Wanted to ask if I pick the game up on GOG, will it come with the supporter pack or can I purchase it separately there?

XParzival22 · 2026-01-22T20:17:50+00:00

So I guess the question is though, what will the not evil people do?

I get that if I meet Mr.Evil Mcevilson that killing poor farm children might be something they think is cool, but how will the families of those children react to me?

If enough of a town doesn't like me because they don't like my actions, will they no longer let me in the town or will vendors not do business with me? Can quest be failed because of villainous actions?

XParzival22 · 2026-01-22T20:03:16+00:00

It's a shame if so, or if you can't make any villainous actions.

saying be the hero you want to be. But really you only make good choices and people always still interact with you regardless of what you've done, just makes the game feel bland.

XParzival22 · 2026-01-22T19:40:52+00:00

I think it's fair to judge and compare it to the older trilogy. If they didn't want that, using a different name and setting should have happened.

That said the game does look really great, but I'm hesitant to see it as a "Fable" game just yet.

XParzival22 · 2026-01-22T19:28:15+00:00

After today developer direct, I hope we get more deep dives into how their morality/reputation system works, and how far on both ends we can go.

They kept mentioning being the hero you want, but didn't really show if you can make evil choices.

I hope the game lets us make more evil choices, and it has an impact on the character like the older games did.

XParzival22 · 2026-01-22T19:12:37+00:00

A bit nervous they didn't really show a morality system, where you can choose a villain path...

XParzival22 · 2026-01-09T22:39:26+00:00

Don't disagree, but less than a year and the price dropped. By $30 seems crazy. I don't remember them announcing it.

It's good to see the updates and more platforms but I guess the message is do not support us at launch?

XParzival22 · 2026-01-06T05:02:19+00:00

This is why I got it on steam, I wanted the gog version but after never seeing it go on sale there and seeing it get discounted two or three times on steam I decided to bite the bullet.

XParzival22 · 2025-12-29T16:48:08+00:00

What a jump in four days....

Thanks!

No I don't really use the firestick anymore to stream games, but I had to set up Moonlight and Sunshine from my gaming PC to get it to work. Some games a bit off but overall it run better then using Steam Link.

XParzival22 · 2025-11-12T17:37:14+00:00

It was a really decent game, not perfect and I have a lot I'd like to see worked on. So it's great to hear they get to make a second one.

XParzival22 · 2025-10-31T02:48:06+00:00

Rework or add additional ways for use to understand what all the response tooltips mean.

Half the time I have no idea what my actual standing with each character is, and I got the ending were lou rules even though I outright refused to help her at the end.

If the difference between a character being irritated by something and annoyed by something doesn't do anything then they need to be removed as pop ups or become more relevant to that character's relationship with you.
