    I’ve played a bit of it, however I kinda don’t get what fun the randomness mechanic brings to it, like I got game over 3 times because the action I chose had 70% success rate, however my guy still had a mental breakdown over counting some footsteps

      Let go of the idea of “success” being passing the check. There are lots of incredible failure results in the game, just roll with the randomness and let the world happen.

      Successful rolls are mostly not necessary to progress the game. Your guy is many things, including a bit of a loser who just hit rock bottom, but your success as a player of the game is only loosely connected to his success as a character attempting things.

      If it gets too much, remember that the arthropods are in silent and meaningless awe of you.
