Love it
This is one of my favorite board games. The art is so vintage fantasy/d&d vibes. It's easy to learn and play without much setup, making it perfect for parents sneaking in some fun after bedtime. I love the expansions as well and hope to get the vinyl eventually.

Hard but I liked it
Easy to play. Tough to win, but I liked it

Easy to learn, nearly impossible to win.
Honestly, this game is easy to set up and learn how to play, yet, playing with 2 characters, out of playing about 8 games, I've never been able to get even halfway through the game without dying. 3 characters, I made it to the boss, but died instantly. I believe it's a good game if you're very good at strategizing when to rest and heal up your hit points, but otherwise, I feel this game is really hard. Also, the large chapter cards are a little awkward to try and shuffle, due to their large size. Edit in 2024: You can get card sleeves for these if you go to the game maker's website, and I'll tell you now, it makes the shuffling soooooo much better. :D

Really fun!
Someone got this as a gift for my dad and we played it and had a ton of fun. So I bought one for my friend as she also enjoys TTRPGs (table top role playing games). I’m not super into TTRPGs since they last weeks and it’s kind of boring to play with 2 people (in my opinion). So this game is perfect. It’s quick enough to play multiple times in a day and it’s fun with just 2 people.

Board game itself is great, but please do not order from Amazon.
The board game is AMAZING and is super easy to set up. The game itself is a bit of a horror TTRPG on rails which allows folks to really kind of delve into it and expand to other tabletops if they want. Fair warning though to please do not buy from Amazon. The boardgame came without shrink wrap and had what looked like scotch-tape(?) and sticky smudges all over it. Immediately returned it. My review will focus on the game itself.

Really fun
This game is super fun and easy to learn! Best played with at least 3 people. You are basically working as a team to escape the castle alive and each card lets you chose your own adventure.

Fun!
A very easy to learn and greatly replayable game with amazing atmosphere. I would definitely recommend for any group wanting a challenging game that is easy to start.
