Played it for two hours.Did anyone got to play it yet? It's very different from what I liked in Chronicles and Reborn, so I am on the fence.

Decided to go with the default half-elf rogue guy but i don't think i spotted any of the content exclusive to him.
Combat is pretty good. Nowhere near as many gameplay options as Reborn/Chronicles at first glance and no more "turn this non-combat card into a damage card with this +synergy card" kind of abilities but you still can do some pretty neat combos.
Default rogue guy can swap places, apply bleed/poison and apply stealth to himself that grants him extra AP and makes enemies flail around and complain if they fail their perception check. You can also make your rogue into a summoner of sorts if you focus on the "connections" skill judging by perks.

Didn't found any shop that sells warrior/rogue/ranger abilites outright but there is one that sell spellbooks with a bundle of new spells for occultists and alchemists.
As one could already see from the previews items often have skill requirements, like one point in Religion is required in order to use a healing spell from a ring or one point in Stalwart in needed in order to use and benefit from drinking mead. You can also acquire a lot of utility items like ropes and shovels that can be used to perform certain actions out of combat.
As for CYOA elements, writing and plot...

...plot is ok so far. Didn't really grab me. I hoped that there would be a bit more focus on "sandboxy" elements rather than the main plot.
You can flirt with a lot of NPCs but i didn't reach any explicit scenes my journal promised me.
It's an early access title, alright. Does indeed need a year or more so in the oven.
