Veilwraith is a great solo game that immediately drew me into its dark world, and one I regret not discovering sooner. The black and white art style immediately sets the tone of the isolated atmosphere. While subjective, the art is thematic and matches the narrative very well.
The core mechanic is easy to pick up, allowing you to jump right in. Every new run offers a challenge, strategic thinking and rewarding outcomes, to keep the game fresh.
If you can find the double-sided game mat, I recommend it as it adds a layer of visual depth, though completely optional and not required to play.
Last, the developers playtime estimation of 30-40 minutes is accurate, although my runs are typically closer to an hour.
