Repetition!

Editorial Has potential

Repetition! is a status-corruption sim that builds on the creator's previous work with improved art and gameplay depth—the community particularly praises the journal-style recollection system and sprite variety. However, the current build carries significant technical friction: the update.bat installer triggers antivirus warnings on multiple systems (some flagged as trojans, others as false positives), causes startup slowdowns, and has directory-path errors that require manual fixes. Beyond installation woes, players report UI scaling issues (cut-off text in combat logs), incomplete balance tuning (tedious combat loops, rare enemy spawn rates), and missing features (some status effects listed as bathable don't actually cure). The creative work itself—art, character interactions, and the status system—resonates with its core audience, but the rough build state and installation hurdles will deter many.
