Is this game any good? It's 20% off now, and apparently it's the closest I can get to a book I just read and fell in love with. What's the gameplay like?

Press direction key at enemy until they die and then be killed by an off screen enemy.

Absolutely. I loved it. I've sunken in over 100s and 100s of hours. I guess you might not like it if you don't like roguelikes (actual roguelikes like Rogue or CDDA not the misused term that indie devs love to use). Caves of Qud is a lot like Morrowind in many ways so if you like that you'll probably like this

I enjoyed it until I met the self insert fursona bears. Closed program. Uninstall.

Morrowind is one of my favourite games of all time, so maybe. I only tried Hades as a roguelike and wasn't a fan

It's like Ys 1-2, bumper cars with extra stuff going on in the background
It's really good if you let yourself get immersed

and the weird forced immortal npc's based on dev and donator furry fetishes
and the fact that to be "human" and not a genetically altered freak makes you evil and locks you out of the majority of "content" and dialogues with anyone
and the fact that there are a TON of trans/lgbtq2p++ references
its tiresome nigga

Oh shit it does? I only played True Kin when I dabbled with it. I really liked the idea of that cold and snowy arcology.

The weakest part of this game is that the design is caught somewhere between being a traditional rougelike with fairly solid end goals and being a sandbox where there's not really any goal and you're just meant to do whatever you want with the tools the game gives you. This game is pure meth to someones autism, I know that, but the lack of focus doesn't really land for me.

You probably heard about it on youtube and then bought the game so you could leave a 0.2 hour negative review like all the other tourists.

It's nothing like Hades but more older roguelikes. If Qud is 20 percent off its definitely worth a buy I can say I easily got my money's worth and I'm a huge cheap ass with most games

Depends.
It's open world sandbox with some static assets and quest lines mixed with roguelike and shitload of procedural generation.
If you're willing to put in some time to learn what the game has to offer you're going to have a good time.
If you're expecting quest markers and hand holding, seek elsewhere.
There's a bare bones tutorial, don't skip it but you should also read a starter guide or two from long time players.
It will make the learning part less painful.
Besides the 'Classic' perma-death mode there's 'Role-playing' mode that saves at cities/villages and there are also mods allowing to save at camps (you can make them anywhere as long as enemies aren't in immediate vicinity)
Not going to spoil the setting or story but the lore is pretty great.
Though after a win or two you learn basically the whole story of the world because overwhelming majority of story is static, not generated.
There are some negatives too but besides the steeper learning curve you won't encounter them till you master the basics.
Once you get to higher levels, balance kind of goes out of the window and you can break the game in many, many ways.
This might be fun in it's own but also takes most of the challenge out of the game so it's up to you to set up your own boundaries.
Also the generated quests can get old pretty fast.

Anyway if you decide to go for it, don't rush.
It's turn based game so if you get into trouble stop pushing buttons like squirrel on speed and think for a minute.
Getting overconfident and rushing is cause of like 90%+ of deaths.
If you're not sure, run away, that's what Sprint skill is for, a basic skill every character has.
Have fun.

Glotrot sucks but Ironshanks is +5 AV if you build for it.

No, retard's lying.
If anything True Kin doesn't start with -200 penalty with Putus Templars like mutants do, so you can talk and trade with them normally, at least until you start murder them during main quest line.

It's not really close to it, the dev was just inspired by it amongst other works if I remember correctly. We'll never ever get a game even remotely close to Wolfe's Solar Cycle series or any other classic "weird" sci-fi bro. Let it go. And go read Long Sun and Short Sun. Right now.

Ivory Tower design is a well-known idiom stemming from tabletop rpgs which thr roguelike genre grew out of. Calm down, lad.

I love it but be aware the devs are ultra woke, with entire races being non-binary and trannies being canonical in the story.

As someone who has read scores of TTRPG manuals and been active in discussions and news about the hobby: I've literally never heard that phrase used in this context before. You must be a part of a small subgroup of the TTRPG space that thinks it's "well known" just because you use it in a 50 person discord group
