The game story is very original: a bunch of creatures who have to evolve to flee a cylinder threatning to crush them.
The gameplay loop is rather orignal, explore, collect food, water and special items to evolve to learn about the world you live in and then rush to the next area before you get crushed.

Phenomenal game, I haven't seen such a fun, quirky and terrifying game like this done the way it's been done before. It has a breathtaking story of unity and loyalty with a contrasting grotesque kind of dystopian world that has you on your toes whether it's finding food, powerups, looking out for enemies or finding water.

I can't recommend this game enough. I finished it 20 mins ago of my writing this and my mind is still in awe from the journey this game brought me on. If you want to watch some gameplay, Jerma has a few good VODS.

10/10 Don't get too attatched to your lil dudes

This is the kind of stuff we should be supporting. Original, quirky, not riding the coattails of anything else. I want more stuff that's THIS willing to be a totally alien experience. It's not that every aspect is perfect; definitely had a couple of Unreal Engine crashes, including one RIGHT when I beat the final boss (the timing of it just made me laugh though, and reloading was no problem). And there are some strange design choices here and there.
But it's all stuff I shrug my shoulders at, when the rest of the game is so interesting and, on the whole, well-designed. It's meant to be a struggle, it's meant to be a journey of hardships. And despite some of the complaints I've read from other people, everything you actually need to succeed is always available to you.
I love this game. I'll definitely be checking out more of ACE Team's output after this.
