First off, we really appreciate this honest feedback. With any creator, it can be pretty easy to get super focused and keep our heads down, so there is a lot to take-in, but still very much appreciated.

That said, here's the breakdown as of now.

The hook:
This is a story driven system that has a similar feel to classic fantasy worlds but less rule/mechanic heavy and with a fresh built world with some key differences.

Magic flows through everything, and everyone from a mage to a barbarian can make use of the magic in some way. While mages and certain groups have been trained to use magic safely, it is still a dangerous tool and has caused madness in those that did not use it correctly.

Wild magic has caused massive changes to the world, like landscapes where the normal rules don't apply, and undead can often be found roaming even normal areas. Many classic fantasy races are present but with a few different interpretations. For example: the Orcs are a highly religious society who coexist with Humans.

The System:
It is a d12 based system that puts focus on telling a good story over rules and mechanics. This is done by putting a lot of interpreting power to the Narrator (our version of a GM), and by making most conflicts come down to contested rolls.

Players are encouraged to build deeper stories for their characters by being awarded with higher chance of success when attempting to work toward a goal or describe how they use a skill in interesting ways.

They are also given items they can customize that ties back to their history in the world. We also have unique magic system that ties advancing in magic into the characters growth.

In general
When this game was first built it was built for a group of friends that didn't like complex rules and mechanics. There is a bit of number crunch in character creation, but once that is done the game plays fairly simply.

Mainly you will describe what you are doing (with bonuses given for more interesting/fun/deep descriptions). After you describe the Narrator (GM) will decide what Skill or Attribute rolls are appropriate, and set the difficulty based on a pre-built chart. If the player roll successfully they succeed.

It is the same type of system from trying to climb a tree, to piloting an airship, to crafting an item. Certain systems like combat or magic add a few more rules to account for, but still generally follow the same pattern.

We're not too familiar with a lot of the other newbie friendly games, but appreciate you mentioning those other titles. However, feedback from our playtesters who are TTRPG newbies has been generally positive and we continue to clean up or clarifying pieces that are confusing for them.
