Dec. 2024
Rough around the edges, but apparently it's a small dev team (or is it a single person?) so that's to be expected. Unique mechanics, and those aforementioned rough edges can make some parts of the game frustrating, but it's nothing a veteran gamer can't handle. Losing is Fun comes into play here, but the game in it's current state (a several hours long tutorial map) is winnable, and potentially teaches you the fundamental differences between this and the million Rimworld/Dward Fortress clones already out there. If you want something different and kinda cozy, this might be worth your time. The price is a little high for an indie EA game like this, but I don't think it's a great risk. Try the Discord for actual questions and feedback.
