This is absolutely a perfect Dope Wars game! It does everything right, a lot of people don't 'get' what this game should be about but this is it. It keeps the same addicting gameplay loop as it's supposed to have, without a bunch of random fluff added to it.
I do like the short CYOA type of gameplay added in with the Castle, it provides some variation without distracting from that solid core gameplay loop. The Soothsayer is also a lot of fun.
It's also not easy, as it should be. The RNG feels the same as I'm used to, this is another thing a lot of clones get wrong. Looks like you studied/played the original one to keep this same vibe.
The Beastiary is a nice detail. Great job in keeping track of the average price bought.
The UI is clean and minimalistic as it should be. Love the ambient soundtrack and sfx.

Living life like Rockefeller only for a vampire to do me dirty, I’ll be back. First try of a game like this and I’m really enjoying it. Awesome entry!
Thank you! Yeah, I tried to make gameplay force you to make tough decisions between maximizing your score and survivability. 😉
