    Same, I found the RNG mechanic utterly mean-spirited. I get why RNG has its proponents, but I’ve never played a game that seemed to have so much contempt for the player and their time, where you can be doing everything right and get punished repeatedly for it.

    RNG is one thing, but this engine needed tweaks so that it’s actually fun, too, and not so damned frustrating. After 30+ hrs I uninstalled and said Never Again.

      I don’t know if I’d call it mean-spirited myself, but it certainly gets tiresome to try to solve a puzzle while someone is deliberately withholding some of the pieces.

        Withholding while actively teasing that it is withholding; and then giving you choices of Only Red Rooms 4x turns in a row. …that last bit is why I say mean-spirited. RNG needs to be better balanced IMHO
