Dee is in this games
Muffles: Faceless inmate with no idea how they ended up in prison. Did the surgeons really need to sew their mouth shut?
Scarlet: Pseudo-religious figurehead who has promised freedom in exchange for the Warden's head.
Shatter: Gang leader of the WARDEN KILLERS. He's mostly just recruited Pettys for now- but just you wait!
Constant: Anxious android security officer. He's gotten a bit addicted to shocking himself to help clear his mind. I'm sure that will end well.
Pettys: Petty criminals rendered spineless after a little soft lobotomy.
Half-Croc: Mostly teeth, anger, and a childhood filled with poor role models.
And many more!

really good. the gameplay is easy to familiarize yourself with, i love the puzzle/storyline of it all. im curious if im missed things in chapter one. i may continue and purchase the other chapters. i recommend this if you like light card games, characters, and good story based games with basic puzzles.
MLS is a pretty good game. I bought and played up to the latest chapter (Ch. 4) and can't wait for Chapter 5. I feel as though I didn't collect enough upgrades and items for my deck, but it didn't stop me from reaching the end. There's a lot to remix and use, so you won't regret buying the episodes. The concept of this game in my opinion isn't one to miss out on. If you're searching for an indie game to sink into, I'd try it out. The characters and storyline are intriguing. I'll miss it after the last episode, there are few studios who make RPG's in this way today.

AMAZING??? only played the first ep so far and Im already hooked- I dont know how this game isnt insanely popular it have literally EVERYTHING to be that way. Art style and the way you fight with a deck of cards is so so cool and I love how funny the characters can be even though they live in absolute hell. 100% recommend the first episode is literally FREE there is no reason not to play this peak I never write reviews for games but I had to for this

It's not for me, but it's got charm for days and feels like such a fully realized world that you'd be silly to not give it a shot if you're at all into deck builders. Mad props to the dev on this.
BUY THIS GAME HELL YEAH ♥♥♥♥ YEAH
I could go on forever about how much I love this damn game. And trust me, I've played A LOT of games. This is one of THOSE games. It's NEARLY the perfect version of what's it's doing. Muffles is a linear RPG with a good story, memorable characters, a really cool face switching mechanic. It's dark, there's mystery, but it's also funny. I'm bad about skipping text in games, but I read EVERY WORD in this game. One part I kept finding funny is: As Muffles, you can't speak. Only make muffled nosies. And yet you ALWAYS get a text prompt to choose what you're going to say in convo BUT IT NEVER MATTERS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU! I fell for this more times than I'd like to admit. And it's hilarious. OK SOME SLIGHT NITPICKS: 1. The text in combat is a just too fast. Many times it flashed on screen and I have no idea what it said. There was one time I fighting a bunch of enemies at once and I used a card that attacks every enemy but I didn't read it ALSO does 10 damage TO YOU for every enemy - that part was my fault - but I didn't know what killed me until laster bc the text was going by too fast. 2. I think Beserk might be broken? I beat the 2nd nightmare easily and I had 0 health for like 1/2 the fight. But I never used it again after that. 3. I felt a bit lost at the start. So I just wondered aimlessly - luckily I was curious about the prison and everything going on. But by the time I finished 1st chapter I was hooked! I never felt lost again. The game really puts on the gas from chapter 2 on. 4. I also wish combat was a SMDIGE harder. I'm on the final chapter right now and the enemies are putting up a bit of a fight, but I still beat them without too much trouble. But maybe it gets harder. Or maybe my cards are just OP. 5. This is more of a personal preference, but the humor goes a bit too silly at times. There's a whole part where you're solving a murder on a train - which I was HYPE for - but it wasn't as thrilling as I thought. And the murderer turned out to be... totally ridiculous. That went a bit overboard for me tbh. I can easily buy into this twisted reality, but when it goes Looney Toons it's a step too far. And some stuff with Dee did that too. But I do like Dee tho. Anyway, I freakin love this game. 9/10
Honestly a real gem, I've played quite a few rpg maker games, I just downloaded to see it and was impressed by what I got
might be biased but director suzan is really cool and you should play this absolutely stunning, beautifully soundtracked game immediately, definitely a new favorite!
This game is so quirky and fun! Absolutely love it and cant wait to finish the story!
