I simultaneously ran out of health tokens and overfilled my token capacity. That's what caused the bug. (Probably reproducible.)
At that point, the city guard popped up. ...and popped up again. ...and popped up again. An endless loop, never letting me respond... I only had one possible action...
I used my power. Repeatedly, until I got below my token capacity. The city guard went away, and Death appeared.
I corrupted Death. Two shiny corruption tokens, netting me three health tokens. Death went away... and came right back.
Hmm. I gave him some more tokens... he came right back. I gave him some more tokens... he came right back. I gave him my last three non-health tokens... he came right back.
Now I'm sitting there with a full inventory of health tokens, four of them shiny. HMM...
...I corrupted him with two shiny health tokens. City guard comes back. I give him all my new charisma tokens, and the extra health token.
Death reappears. And then... with a full inventory of health tokens...
I assume you can probably get out of it if you pay off Death the same number of times the City Guard looped at the start. For me that was a lot of times, though, so I didn't have much hope of getting out of it.
i think there's a bug. when i was on the map i put a shiny health token in for my power for the nurse to come see me after an event but it was glitch and all i could do was putting my last health token in the power and die
Hi, I really like your game! It's quiete fun to play, I just wanted to let you know that i found a bug on the browser game. My party is stuck and one character is saying the same line again and again. I don't know if it's just a personal bug, but wanted to let your team know.
A fun little game! Great art, fun stories, and unique gameplay. Would love to see this expanded with more classes, and maybe a few more uses for corruption, but overall a solid title.
had a bug where the text boxes only had strip of black in the center but the top and bottom where white so I couldn't read the text on the top or bottom, not sure how to fix.
this game is genuinely fun! Def would recommend, has a certain charm, in the art and concept! If you're looking for an easy to learn, hard to master game with fun characters I would def give this game a shot!
Love it. Found a bug, though. Had a two slot expansion, when I was rewarded some coins. Enforcer comes to confiscate, says I know the drill in the dialog, but then keeps saying it over and over in an endless loop
Managed to break the loop using the corruption power for my character, which killed me (I think I used my last health initially to pay for something, so spending that put me below the enforcer's limit maybe?)
Although when I got past Death, the enforcer arrived, i got past him by dumping the excess, and then death returned as if I had no health, when I do... Endless loop until I accept Death. I feel a bit young for this :)
Also, token placement highlighting doesn't line up, sometimes I wind up having to put a token in a strange spot to get it to highlight so I can place it
Managed to get it again by giving the enforcer my last life token, the prompt to give him more disappeared this time, I used the corruption power and then I got caught in the loop. I give enough to the enforcer after dealing with Death, Death thinks I don't have any health tokens remaining and the loop repeats
the trait that allows you to play corruption on your power was broken for me; my power normally took coins but refused to take corruption even though it looked (and said) that it should.
Lovely game! The visuals are great and I love how tactile everything feels. It's a simple decision-based mechanic that works really well. I really liked the status effects that encouraged me to use certain tokens over others.
Looks so good! I just marveled at the screen for a while.
I hit a bug where the mouse cursor did not align with the hand or the game. Only in the top left corner the finger is on the mouse-circle. It got worse when picking a token, because dropping the token requires me putting the mouse cursor a bit outside the drop location.
See attached image. I couldn't capture the mouse cursor; it was approximately at the location of the blue circle I painted in.
I actually seemed to got some motion sickness from playing. Perhaps because the hand was usually on top of the things I was trying to read.
It's definitely intriguing! I did hit a bug though: after using my last health, and in doing so filling up my tokens (mostly with gold), I encountered a guard who said something like "You there! Let me look at those tokens!", in an infinite loop.
I encountered the same bug after paying for the two gold option with my two remaining health tokens. However, after using the ability that requires a corruption token to make all choices "any", the guard stopped and death appeared, and then I was able to corrupt death into giving me health back, which led back to the normal, non-glitched guard encounter.
Other than that, great game! I love the concept and the execution is well done. A simple premise that still requires thinking and planning and has plenty of replayability.
(Also charisma and agility don't load well for me on demo version, but having a descriptor pop up when hovering over was helpful.)

So... bug report:

...I corrupted him with two shiny health tokens. City guard comes back. I give him all my new charisma tokens, and the extra health token.

...I accept my fate.
I can confirm that it's reproducible. The exact same thing happened to me. Difference was that I got out of the cycle.
Edit: Nope nevermind I see what you mean.
I assume you can probably get out of it if you pay off Death the same number of times the City Guard looped at the start. For me that was a lot of times, though, so I didn't have much hope of getting out of it.
Yeah i just gave up on that run....
Lovely short adventure!
Very fun and looks incredible. I hope you all are proud!
Very fun game :) I've just had a super boring class and was browsing itch and stumbled upon this. Had a great time!
impressive UI design, but not fun enough to play
Anyway, in conclusion i like it
i think there's a bug. when i was on the map i put a shiny health token in for my power for the nurse to come see me after an event but it was glitch and all i could do was putting my last health token in the power and die
Fun little rouge like, managing your inventory becomes managing your health. Had fun!
great game! hoping to see more content in the future

why is this actually so fun

Loved the game!
had a bug where the text boxes only had strip of black in the center but the top and bottom where white so I couldn't read the text on the top or bottom, not sure how to fix.
i accidentally caused the game to glitch so i was stuck between the guard and death
this game is genuinely fun! Def would recommend, has a certain charm, in the art and concept! If you're looking for an easy to learn, hard to master game with fun characters I would def give this game a shot!
It feels like a reigns-like game, but an idea with tokens is definetly something new
really great. good artwork, sounddesign, cool game idea.
the animation of the hand is very nice
had problems with the second tutorial screen, to understand what was meant.
relativly difficult.
i just read that you made this in just 7 days. AMAZING!
Incredibly charming game, the art is gorgeous!
Love it. Found a bug, though. Had a two slot expansion, when I was rewarded some coins. Enforcer comes to confiscate, says I know the drill in the dialog, but then keeps saying it over and over in an endless loop

Still loving the game, though :)

Awesome art and game! (all characters are mashable)
here's our coverage of your game!!!!

Hi, I would like to know which engine you used to make this game? I've a similar idea, but there are many game engines to pick from. It's dizzying.
This game is amazing and beautiful! I hope one day you release a longer version of this, I would buy it

Uhh.. I broke the game, the guard wants to spawn because i have too many tokens, but having no health resets him because it wants to spawn death.
REALLY COOL BUT REALLY HARD
Awesome very fun game!
Awesome game! Really liked the gameplay concept and the narrative.
is it just me or is lygar busted mostly because he can cheat death?
great game! reminds me of playing munchkin.
the trait that allows you to play corruption on your power was broken for me; my power normally took coins but refused to take corruption even though it looked (and said) that it should.
Really fun, but losing seems to softlock onto an empty table.
cool game but pretty sure lygar is broken.
The game glitches when you use bring me joy on the map screen.
Game is fun, but foresighted is incredibly OP. It, with but 1 resistance token, means you need never lose any tokens ever again.
same

Super unique take on a roguelike. Great work!
