! It sounds like you're really enjoying the game, and I'm glad to hear that you're finding it to be a good value for the price.
I'm also a fan of roguelikes, and I'm always looking for new ones to try. I'll definitely have to check out Hardcore Overtime soon.
It's interesting to hear about the different ways that you can progress in the game. It sounds like there's a lot of depth to the meta progression system, which is always a plus in my book.
