Great Game, Great People
I purchased the rules bundle off the website, and I was only given part of what was listed on the advertisement.

I used the chatbot on the website, and told them what happened, and they made it right. The game itself is fun and easy to learn, my players were confused at how easy the system was and the setting is amazing. Worth every penny.

Complexity
The idea behind the rules is fantastic, and I also like the setting. The rules seem a little too complex. But a short time after I bought the PDF files, a remastering of the rule engine was announced, so I'm a little sad that I bought the complex rules instead of waiting for the remastering.
City of Mist
Hi Nils! Sorry you didn't enjoy the game. You're welcome to a refund if you really feel this game isn't for you. The new engine announced is intended for other games; players have been playing and enjoying City of Mist since 2017, and we feel that this rule set really works for this universe. It is much simpler than most RPGs. We recommend joining our Discord channel or checking out our extensive library of YouTube videos if you have any questions about the game. Please contact support if you need any further help with this.

Yo this rules!!
The rulebooks allow you to paint this picture of a magical, mysterious city without actually telling you how it's "supposed" to be. I've never liked being constrained by specific settings and histories, so having this work mechanically while also not succumbing to vagueness is frankly breathtaking. Tldr:: F*ck yeah!

Cool Concept
I like the Artwork and the Story behind the Setting.

One of the most beautiful systems I've ever seen
A truly amazing system, I can't wait to try it out in a game
A lot of my roll players have become role players with this game.

I also appreciate the theater of mind aspect and the character sheets/knowledge my Players need to know is reduced to easy phrases without a weird dichotomy between flavor text and actual mechanic. In CoM they are one and the same. I've also always gravitated more to internally conflicted vigilantes that question their actions and thoughts as opposed to "I **** Bad Guy and therefore am a hero despite what I did to get there! Woohoo!"
The way CoM makes characters evolve and change instead of just endlessly gaining more points is the thing that really made me love the system.

I don't care at all for the setting and the dichotomy being tied in to choosing new things to replace the old is also problematic for me because I prefer to not play with such clear cut oppositions in my games. However the whole idea that in order to really see the best advancement characters need to actually lose touch with part of what they identified with and instead reveal a new facet of themselves is just am amazing way to do character growth.
City of mist is one of the best ttrpg's that I've ever played and GM'd in terms of creative fulfilment.

The cinematics flow really well with the conversational style of gameplay and the fact that there aren't really any set rules on ranges and distances makes it a lot easier to handle theatre of the mind gameplay compared to other TTRPG's. This, to me, is a big part of why it feels very fulfilling to both run and play with this system, as you don't have to worry about strict distances and numbers and can instead focus on the storytelling. Plus, the fact that the game actively encourages players to push their characters to evolve and develop which is a lot of fun.
Huge and excellent.
Be warned, this book is *HUGE*, but it’s also *GORGEOUS*. Thematically, it’s an Urban Fantasy game that hits a lot of interesting notes. Mechanically, it takes elements of Fate and Powered by the Apocalypse, but also adds a lot of its own spin to really engage players in making the city their own.
Worth the money
At first I was a little apprehensive because of the price, but the quality of this book is top notch. The system itself is fun and relatively easy to learn taking the best parts of Apocalypse World and Fate Core and melding them together. The two groups I have run one shots with adore the game.

Incredible RPG! The system is very adaptable and you can build an infinite amount of characters and stories with the flexibility this game provides. My only issue is that the rules are heavy for a typical Apocalypse System game, but they are well done.v
Detective Noir Knockout.
Amazing game. Incredibly imaginative. I highly recommend for anyone. It’s “easy to learn, and hard to master” as it were.

My group loved this game so much we made it our weekly game instead of D&D 5E
We love role-playing but have always been playing Dungeons & Dragons. We tried this game and loved it. The game makes it very easy for players to get creative with their characters and actions. The book is beautiful and hefty and covers every imaginable need I have as an MC and then some. Highly recommended
Great game with gorgeous art.

The setting is well conceived with enough detail to provide plenty of detail bit not so much as to rail road the GM's or players' creativity. Lastly, the art is out of this world. Everyome involved deserves the highest praise.
