I've been curious for a while with this game. Seeing it on HN, maybe it's time to give it a chance.
It's a kind of game that I think the less you know, the better the experience. At least for me it was quite enjoyable in this way.
It’s one of the greats in my view. They also released a DLC called Echoes of the Eye that is good to try out even if it’s highly recommended to play through after finishing the base game.
