Our current game is failing hard...

We've been working on our Chinese mythology roguelite for the past half year, culminating in a Steam Next Fest entry 2 weeks ago.
The results of this Next Fest have been pretty disastrous so far however, and now we're at a bit of a crossroad in regards to what we should do. We also go more in-depth in regards to our Next Fest numbers, and want to nuance our previous Next Fest video.
