A Quick Note on the Current State of the Game

First of all, thank you so much for your incredible support and engagement!

I want to be completely transparent with you all: I have to agree with what some of you might have noticed—the game is currently in its beta phase.

Going into this campaign, I never expected this project to become such a massive game in terms of content. But thanks to you unlocking so many stretch goals and providing such brilliant feedback, the scope has changed significantly. The design process has been very fluid, allowing the game to naturally evolve and find its absolute best version.

Play Now, with Weekly Updates! The great news is that you don't have to wait to dive in. The first few chapters are already fully playable right now! As we continue to build out the rest of the game, I will be releasing new content on a weekly basis so you can experience the new additions as they are created.

The Road to the Final Version Because the game has grown so much, here is the roadmap for finalizing everything over the next 8 weeks:

Weekly Content Drops: New gameplay content will be released every week until we hit the finish line.
Complete Overhaul: Once all the content is locked in (8 weeks from now), I will overhaul everything to ensure the mechanics, layout, and rules tie together perfectly.
Professional Proofreading: A professional proofreader has offered to come on board to review all the text and guarantee the final version is polished, clear, and error-free.

A Note on Printing I know that updating files means you might need to re-print materials as we go, and I hope that isn't too much of a hassle! To help make this easier and more cost-effective during this beta phase, please remember that the low-ink files are available specifically to serve this purpose.

I am so incredibly excited about what this game is becoming. It’s bigger and better than I ever imagined, and I am really looking forward to delivering the ultimate final version to you all.

Thank you for being such an active part of this journey! <3

What's Unique About Essence?

Rulebook

No AI Art - Art by Vittoria Pompolani (bonedustuff)

While I created the original artwork for the prototype myself, I decided that Essence deserves a truly unique aesthetic. Therefore - and for the love of human created art - I decided to bring the talented Vittoria Pompolani (aka @bonedustuff) and her beautiful style to the project.
