The game (at least on PC) is really good if you love CDPR style storytelling. There are also a lot of subtle story beats and easter eggs you can find if you look for them. People who wanted sandbox style play with lots of branches and variation were super disappointed, but if you would enjoy playing through a well crafted story I would suggest jumping in. Having played multiple build,s I would strongly suggest trying out sandevistan + katana, It is crazy and my favorite!
@copacetic I have been planning to run Shadowdark in my in-person home group (currently running CY_BORG) when the physical books arrive. I didn’t want to wait, so I’ve been prepping Shadowdark for online play in FoundryVTT which has pretty good support. The Shadowdark discord ( https://discord.gg/thearcanelibrary ) has a thread on using SD in Foundry with tons of resources and super nice helpful people.
