Both Knitbone and this are amazing <3
Thanks for playing! ❤️
Of course it was lovely to share on stream with friends and followers. It really gives Ivan and Till vibes from Alien Stage. <3
Ooo someone else made the same comment about Alien Stage! Do you have a link to your stream VOD? I'd love to check it out.

All good, I just watched it and enjoyed your playthrough! Nice job completing both of them and it made me realize that I should add a tutorial to KnitBone: Rituals 😄
This was so fun i loved it!
Thanks for playing!
of course!
I appreciate it! I'm curious to know, what did you like most about the game and were you able to beat it?
the first play through i liked building a deck the most, i was able to beat it on my second try, the first try i died early, the next two times i played what i found most fun was trying different strategies to see how it would turn out
Oh nice, that's awesome to hear!
That was fun! It is rare to see a solid deck-building game on such a small scale, but you have totally nailed it. All the choices felt meaningful, each card had its own uses, upgrades/rewards were enjoyable, etc. Also, very cool visual aesthetic and sound design. Bravo!
Thanks for your positive review!
