While I think this concept had some unique aspects, shrinking it into under 40 pages just felt like a disservice to the whole idea. It quickly dumped a ton of world building that could have been expanded upon to improve visualization and understanding of the rules of the world. I was lost most of the time because those details were so densely packed and were not embedded into the plot, just told to us to give us vague context. Overall was very disappointed in the potential versus the execution.
