This game has become one of my absolute favorites. I've played through three endings so far, and I'm still hooked. I can't wait to figure out if I can get all of them! I love the dialogue, which feels realistic and refreshing. I love how there are so many different activities you can pick to focus on different skills. I love the story and how your knowledge of life carries over with each playthrough. I love the characters. I love the blooming romance. I love the mystery. 10/10 game, highly recommend.

TLDR: This game was one of my favorite games I've played.

I suffer from CPTSD. Trauma is intertwined in every aspect of my life. I've been working really hard to improve my life and integrate my trauma, and this game has become a step in that journey.

Six months ago, I was emotionless, going through life in a state of constant dissociation. I couldn't cry, couldn't get angry, couldn't feel joy. As I've gone through therapy, my emotions have slowly begun to come back to me. I realized this when I took the first character to the Everdoor. My eyes welled up with tears. I was actually feeling things. Emotion!!

This game is an utter masterpiece. It weaves complicated themes of trauma and loss and betrayal so well into the story line and characters. The gameplay is simple yet satisfying. The amount of hours it takes to complete the story is just the right amount; not too much to which you get tired of the repetitive gameplay, and not too little where you wish you had more. Each character is unique and feels whole, not like a trope. The dialogue is engaging. The loading screens don't take too long. The music draws you in and helps to bring out those emotions deep within you. It's a masterpiece of a game. I doubt I will find another as good for a long time.

I'd never heard of this game until I happened to see it in the Steam store when it went on sale. I randomly bought it because, well, I've always wanted to have my own cult and this game seemed to satisfy that odd urge. I knew absolutely nothing about it besides that going in.

Let's just say, I was in for a very pleasant surprise. The characters, art, and story are cute, but not overly complex. The battle system is easy to grasp and yet challenging enough to keep me on my toes. The various minigames sprinkled throughout the game (fishing, farming) are incorporated in a way where the playstyle is seemless. It's addictive. And I f*cking love having followers chant to me every day. Best of all, the cult-like style fits amazingly well with the rogue-like mechanics, as it makes total sense for you to be reborn again with all of the powers you previously unlocked.

If you're a secret cult-lover like me, do yourself a favor and pick up this game. 10/10.

This open world is the perfect mix of guided gameplay and exploration. The quests, puzzles, and other activities range from fairly easy to wrack-my-brain difficult. There's something here for everyone to enjoy! I particularly love the combat system, and that's saying something coming from someone who usually doesn't enjoy live action battle. It's just difficult enough to challenge me, while not being overly complicated. Definitely recommend this game!

This game has a little bit of everything for any space lover.

I can spend hours playing this game. It's one of the best Steam games I own.

I have been playing this game with my SO for about a month or so now. We have our own server and play PVE only. It's a great time! A lot of the items/abilities seem to be geared heavily towards PVP, but there's enough that's not that we don't feel like it particularly detracts from the gameplay. We have a great time fighting and exploring the world together. There is a bit of grinding in this game in order to build certain items and the such, but not so much that we only ever grind. We mostly go out and explore and track down bosses and collect items that we need along the way. It makes for some great and balanced gameplay! It's also very fun for us to build and design bases together. An overall great game and time sink for couples who like to game together. :)

Fun game, kinda like upgraded Dominion.
