great game but way too slow difficulty curve
I really like this game. It's exaclty what I wanted interm of mechanics, gameplay. Design is cool too. And I could have seen my playing hours and hours of this like

But all of this seems ruined by the lack of difficulty. After starting the game in normal, I quickly decided to play it in nightmare mode. I have played for 2 hours now and I am in 5th world and I still don't loose or even have been afraid to loose. And what happened is that now I don't care if I make a mistake, I just play without thinking. Even I gave myself some additional rules like "don't use the undo or wyrn cards."

Maybe the game will be difficult later and surely I will not be able to finished the game in nightmare mode. But if this difficulty come, it will be far too late for me. I don't see me do a new run with 2 or more hours before using my actions have a real meaning.

It's a pity because it's a (very)good chill game but even chill games can ask your for a little skill (think hexcells, islanders)

I dont regret my purchase and congrats to the devs for this, but I see something that could have been so perfect with some adjustments

It's hard to balance a game for everyone. Some people find it too difficult in normal mode for example and lose. It does get harder towards the end for sure!

Yes especially for a solitaire game that should also be accessible for more casual gamers I suppose.
Anyway, it's a good game. Thanks for answer
