I've been rotating this game rapidly in my mind ever since I first ran it. The dice resolution mechanic is so clever and fun when paired with the items and monsters which are both a joy to play with. I loved realizing the tactical double-bind that the first boss encounter was built around, and it was a pure delight to watch my players understand it in real time too. The aesthetics are perfect and got everyone on the same page about the roleplay right away. It's a real marvel.
I want there to be so much more of it already, in part because it feels like such a well-realized slice that implies the larger whole so well that I can almost see it from here, a tantalizing silhouette in the fog. I'm looking forward to running it again as soon as there's an update.
Just got done playing a Halloween session of this, my third time playing overall. This is my favorite TTRPG that I've played in a long time. I'm a huge fan of tactical combat and this scratches every itch I've got, plus I'm obsessed with the vibes of it (the descriptions are SO evocative and cool). I've played it in a party of two, in a party of five, and in a two-person game where I controlled three different characters -- all of them were amazing and showed me new and exciting facets of the gameplay. I already can't wait to play again and I am going to absolutely inhale every update to this.
Thank you so much, this is incredibly lovely to hear! KATABASIS is definitely dense, I'm glad you've found so much to unpack in it! Would you mind if I shared this on tumblr?
Been tinkering with it off and on for a bit! I've had most of the rest of the game planned since the beginning, but I tend to work on several projects in parallel so couldn't tell you the next time I'll be pushing an update.

how many players is this game for?
It talks about a GM and multiple PLayers. I think it's for 3+ people.
