March 2025
Bought this on a whim as it was massively discounted! Started playing at 1am, thinking I'll just check out what this game is about quick before bed... It's 7am and oh my lord! That was INTENSE! I can't believe I survived it all, the drama of this game is surreal! Was totally locked it by the story and the mission! Would buy again, even if it wasn't discounted, would be worth every penny! Will definitely be sinking more hours in. Now... time for bed... Phew.

The Circle of Life - Children mine coal. - Coal keeps the generator running. - Generator keeps children warm. - Children stay warm enough to keep mining coal. 10/10 Would create an infinite energy source again.

I like to play this game in the winter and open up my window to let the cold in so that i can feel 10% of the discomfort that these people feel everyday. The game is great, it’s a hard, stressful and frustrating. "THE CITY MUST SURVIVE" i tell myself while making the most morally abhorrent decisions. 11/10 will make the children work 24hrs shifts in coal mines again.

I thought this was going to be a depressing hard choices simulator, which kept me away for a long time. When I finally gave it a shot I was surprised at how much it's about endurance, hope, and human ingenuity. It's definitely not easy, but you can not just survive but thrive. (It's kind of a shame that once you thrive the game basically plays itself, but you can consider that a reward.) Can you imagine... living in a society where people are willing to work together to do what is necessary to survive a world-threatening climate disaster?

Little Timmy came to us as a refugee, got put into the coal mines on a 24h emergency shift and died. All in one day! What more could you want?
