Stats, Willpower & Juice

Like its big brother CESSPOOL, LEAK is all about minimalism — even when it comes to stats.

There are only three that matter:

• Power 💪

• Health ❤️

• Will 🧠

That’s it. Everything stems from those.

Even turn order is derived from them — it’s based on a stat called Weight, which equals Power - Health.
👉 So tanks are slower, and DPS builds strike faster.

🎯 Will (🧠): Spend or Suffer

Will is a resource that regenerates each turn, up to a cap.
You can spend it to activate techniques — every turn.

But here’s the twist:

• You can overspend: use more Will than you actually have.

• Doing so creates a Will debt, and… debt hurts.

  • Will surplus? You take less damage.

  • Will debt? You take more.

It’s a small system, but it creates big choices.
Do you burn all your Will now for a huge move, or play safe and stock up for the next turn?

🌀 Little things that make it juicy

Instead of flipping direction instantly, your character now rotates smoothly when turning.

It doesn’t change gameplay — but it adds some visual juice.
Even though I’m aiming for a simple visual style, I still want LEAK to feel alive, responsive, and satisfying to play.

The goal?
A tiny RPG you can launch in the morning with your coffee. ☕
Quick run, big choices, weird lore.

More soon.
