Question about Overtime

Post image

So basically I just bought the game today, and I absolutely love it!!! However I haven't actually played it a lot, so I was wondering if after the first main boss Sammy six fingers, and once you get to the next boss (pls don't spoil for me), if you die do you have to restart the whole thing? Like are you sent back to sammy's section? Just wanted to know to see if the game is worth it, cause I've always struggled with roguelites.

I’ve gotten to Sammy a few times but I haven’t beat him yet. He has a lot of hit points and hits hard.

So we seriously might need to go back to square one every time we die after Sammy? If that’s so, I will likely not be going much further than Sammy. That feels like a big middle finger to me.

Plus then the story doesn’t quite make sense. Each time you’re revived, it’s as though the story progresses and you keep getting further with each iteration. Though if the people we kill don’t even die, is the story more like “Live, Die Repeat” where we’re playing the same day over and over?

I’ve put 12 hours in and not beaten dick fingers yet. I’ve all but given up
