was short, quiant, goofy and simple. The fact that it's a "Clicker game" where you can win by figuring out ways to make the process faster rather than simply waiting around makes it a very engaging experience about figuring out new builds as old ones become obsolete. It's more of a toolbox than a game about endless power scaling.

Strategy games with a campaign are a rare breed nowadays. It's all just sandbox strategy games or multiplayer games. I am so happy i bought and played this. It's short, snappy and full of character. I'm glad it ended where it did because mechanically it had sort of reached an exploratory endpoint for me so it felt like it wrapped up nicely both mechanically and narratively!

very dynamic gameplay with a high learning curve. will say i find the endgame a bit lackluster. it could also do with having a bit more of a legible civopedia-menu.

I have not yet finished this game but so far I feel that this game managed to do something really special with how the narrative and gameplay intertwine. The way where the game is conversation and the ai is trying to play with you as best as they can rather than against you.

While the game might start off simple it quickly grows very difficult and it becomes a struggle to stay on top of everything. There is a undeniable, clear and severe scarcity in the resources you have at your disposal to engage with the diverse array of cards people and it really adds to the narrative weight and tension of the journey's you go on.

With such simple mechanics it really manages to capture a sense of Anxiety and unease at what the future could bring. Will the store survive? How will your relationship with your friends, your home survive the distances you travel? Will the world be able to yield enough to feed it's people. This uncertainty is so excellently captured by this game.

I mean it does what it says on the tin

I found that this game was just hard enough to challenge but not so hard or esoteric that i needed look up the answers. Great detective game!

In some ways it's a great game and i enjoyed my time with it. But it ends up being very long due to the structure of the game. I think it adds to it for the elements of repetition to be so prevalent and it's an excellent way to use game mechanics to carry emotional and narrative weight it's just. I think for many this could end up feeling as a time-waster.

Addendum i did not look for any walkthrough or external help and it took me about 29 hours to finish.

Having beat the game i have to say it was refreshingly short and sweet. I definitely appreciate a game that respects your time and does not overstay it's welcome.

You are supposed to unlock the indonesia map when you get this but it doesn't work rn. They are trying to fix it so you should get it once they fix it.

A very interesting game about exploration. It's essentially a text game but the limited amount of interaction you have really gives it something more. The subtle stresses that they put on you are great ways to make you feel the tension as you read. The mechanical elements exist to complement the writing and not the other way around witch i very much appreciate.
