This is as close to my dream game as I've ever gotten. I can generate any world I want, including existing fictional universes, like the SCP Foundation (which was executed BRILLIANTLY), and the Free Cloud model is MORE than good enough. You can get all kinds of interesting items, and then craft any three together, and the AI figures out what you get-I have spent hours on that alone. If you have to spend money to craft, just switch the game difficulty to Adventure while crafting, but never use Adventure difficulty outside crafting because it makes the game too easy. Also, be ready to sorta cheat when the AI messes up and doesn't do what it says it should-use the ~ key to bring up the console. And make sure to explore the Options in the main menu really thoroughly and give yourself as much control as possible, as long as you commit to having the integrity to only use your cheat powers to fix the AI's mistakes.

Plus, the developer is really good about responding to bug reports. I'm really impressed.

This is the best value I have EVER gotten for money spent on a game, and I expect to get over 1000 hours eventually. Just be prepared to take real responsibility for the quality of your experience-this is a collaborative game, where you work with the AI as it does most of the heavy lifting.

One of the best AI experiences I've seen. It's still needs work but that's what early access is for. The developer is super responsive and professional and you can really have a ball if you're creative.

This game is so close to something great. What Max Loh has done with the skill, meter, image generation, plausibility and lore systems? Haven't seem them done nearly as well in any other AI service. It has everything that could make a storyteller with infinite potential.

But the issue with the game lies in how it's structured. You have all these preset rooms and locations that have very specific NPCs, enemies and other locations just there, waiting for you to interact with them. It feels very artificial and arbitrarily placed. Trying to progress a consistent story with this system is incredibly challenging, because quest progress is inconsistent and difficult to control. Moving between places feels very inconsequential, there's no real sense of distance or effort involved. The combat system is unpredictable and the very gamey nature of it all makes it hard to make a serious attempt at a story.

What this game really needs is to shed all of that. Keep the skills, lorebooks and maybe the meters, sure. But ditch the set locations, the ability to just click to go to a new place, the preset enemies and NPCs. Instead, make it freeform. Make a solely text-based adventure that works more like a dynamically growing novel, and have encounters, victories and setbacks arise naturally from the attempts written into the input. Instead of just clicking to go to the next room, have it play out in the narrative with greater detail. Instead of NPCs and enemies just there waiting for their turn to interact, have characters organically present themselves or leave as the story would sensibly demand.

The pieces are all there, they just need to be placed in such a way to allow for much richer and more dynamic storytelling. If that can be done, this could be something truly special.
