Saw this on the Playstation storefront, thought it looked vaguely interesting but I figured I'd run it through the "are people on Cohost feral about it" sieve: is Library of Ruina a thing

in reply to @bruno's post:
Amber, who is the gothest person I know and loves touhou, is into it, if that gives you any perspective?
My understanding is that it's a VERY VERY LONG linear narrative deckbuilder (non roguelike) with a cynical but apparently interesting story that also takes a while to get to where it's going (it being Long was the primary thing I heard about it)
Main thing I know is that it's from the same company that does lobotomy corporation and limbus company who got into hot water for caving to antifeminist dudes and firing some of their artists. Can't comment much on the game itself, unfortunately
yeah, the Project Moon stuff was on my "I should check this out eventually" list until I saw that news pop up.
Library of Ruina is probably one of the best games I've ever played even if it's too long by a third and best gone into with a guide for the mechanics.
The best way I can describe the setting and vibe is with an example: there are no homeless people in The City. This is because every night the streets are cleaned by the Sweepers, and they kill anyone they come across
