I started punching my friend because I thought my game bugged out and he was stuck in the elevator, alive for me, already dead for him...

It was a false player... I died... We lost our run...

I only got a bit of what this game has to offer, as I was able to refund it by the time I was done. But do take note, I may come back to this game in the future.

I don't know if I just wasn't in the mood at the time, or if I really do find the combat monotonous and the open world travel boring. I've never had an issue for open world traveling boring before in other games, so I really can't say why I didn't like it here.

The combat being monotonous, it just wasn't really fun to be in combat. And don't get me wrong, I don't mind "stiff" combat, I do enjoy playing D&D.

But again, I would like to come back to this again, I just didn't like it at the time and I really don't know if I was just tired or something.

I'm aware this is just the prologue and isn't nearly what you'll get in the full game, I have yet to buy it any try it out, but so far, this has been really fun for me. I'm not sure why, but a lot of these "simulator" games on Steam really fit well with me, might have something to do with my autism, I'm not sure.

At the time of posting this, it has been a while since I last played, but I have a almost 3 and a half hours on it, being able to buy most of the expansions and licences, so I'd say I'm pretty much done with the prologue, especially with what it has to offer.

You play as a manager of a small market that, based off of the name of the game, I assume will grow much larger. Restocking and exchanging money and coins is really satisfying to me, especially putting everything in rows on the shelves and such.

One complaint I have, I wish the placement could be on a grid system, it really bugs me, as I'm not able to precisely place everything to fit against the wall and such. I really hope they do add this at some point, with options to turn it off for those who don't want it.

Overall, very fun, certainly has it's issues, but one I recommend nevertheless. Oh, and of course, thank you to Stuff+ for playing it and introducing me to it. Along with the developers as well, you guys did really good on this, and I do hope to see it get even better in the future.

This is one of those times where I wish I could post a mixed review. I'm aware this is just the prologue, but I feel it does offer enough of what you'll get in the base game.

First of all, I've only played one run, dying on the final mission, so this review is in no way concrete, I would like to play it some more and see how I feel then.

I'm not sure why, but the gameplay is both fun but also boring for me at the same time. I do like the turn based combat style, I'm certainly a fan of those as it really eases the stress for me, compared to real time combat.

Why it's boring for me, I really can't put it into words at the moment, just something about it doesn't sit right with me. Hopefully I'll find out once.i play some more.

I know this is a common theme as well with rogue likes/lites, but I don't really like the luck factor involved with drawing and getting cards. I know there could be a lot of strategy involved, but for someone who isn't an avid Rogue like/lite player, I'm having a hard time with it.

Overall though, I did enjoy it, and again, this would be more of a mixed review. I do appreciate the devs making a prologue/demo, very thoughtful of them. Oh, I will visit this game again like I said, I would like to have my thoughts on it more fleshed out though before I decide on buying the full game.

I love the concept of just a massive sword tied to the hood of a car, this game is super stylish and plays very well, lots of fun to be had. At the moment, it doesn't seem to have too much replay-ability as there's just one level with 3 cars and 3 powers. It is in early access though. I eagerly await new updates.

I completed the game in just under 30 minutes with the starting car, I love the mechanics of drifting sort of being your attack and I can see it being an easy to learn, hard to master sort of thing. Love the bullet time as well, makes it easier to process everything while being more precise.

One issue I had is that the charge can be spammed without penalty, making some bosses rather easy. I don't know if that's intentional or not, but if it is, it's not that big of an issue for me.

Overall, very fun game that I highly recommend, I will be watching this game closely! Oh, and thank you to IronPineapple for actually showing this game to me. And thank you to the dev for making this as well! It's impressive that this is your first game! Keep it up!

"F*** YOU, SWORDCAR!"

While this game can be very confusing at first, the community has been very friendly so far, and the controls really aren't that bad once you get used to them. I've had a lot of fun so far with this, even with the less than 2 hours time I've put into it. Gosh, that went by quick though.

The game is free, but I wouldn't mind supporting the developers, they did a very amazing job and are active players too! I met one of them in my first match, albeit I had no idea what I was doing.

Update: Valve is finally banning the bots and bot hosters! Thank you so much, Valve!

Edit: I'm changing my review to negative for now in hopes that this will help, even if just by the slightest bit. I really can't stand one of my favorite games in the situation that it's in now. Please Valve, fix this game.

While the community surrounding this game is very mixed on the state of it, this has been a lot of fun for me, clearly told by the almost 150 hours I've poured into it. Of course there is the issue with the bots and all which can be rather annoying, but I don't mind requeueing to find an actual match. Along with this, if it weren't for TF2, I likely wouldn't have met some people I regard as very close friends now. They don't play it very often, if at all, anymore, but I'm grateful that I met them.

If you have the patience to put up with the bots, then I'd heavily recommend trying this out if you haven't already, like I said it's been a lot of fun for me.

Update 18:
Perhaps the final update before I write my full and honest thoughts on this game, I just finished with ending 2, gosh that one ended badly. Not as bad as ending 1 but still... I did like the future Inco design though. Anyways, the ending I've been saving for last, ending 4, I'm pretty much going to replay the game without skipping for this.

Update 17:
It's been a while since I last played, definitely excited for the point shop, workshop support and trading cards!!

Update 16:
Ending 1... Gosh...

Update 15:
I'm not sure about this, but I think the skip automatically pauses when there's something new. Gosh, thank you so much for that!!!

Update 14:
It hurts too much, I'm just skipping when I don't see any changes due to the options and until I get to Chapter 15.

Update 13:
I don't like doing Ending 1, it's making me feel badddd. >///<

Update 12:
This isn't going to be my final update, not by a long shot, I definitely plan on writing a full and complete review after this. But I got the third ending. Gosh, this game.. It's been such a journey. I'm going to go back through and get the other endings, perhaps saving the fourth (and best as I've heard) ending for last. Although I've heard the first ending is very bad, so hopefully I can handle that..

Update 11:
I don't like Ben anymore.

Update 10:
Gosh, that rush when Olivia changes her mind completely after watching the Ashtails (If that was what they were called) got me so excited, I love the story in this, it feels so genuinely pumped full of passion and joy.

Update 9:
He's just wearing negative colors for the dance, Evil Inco.

Update 8:
OMG, HER THEME IS PLAYING! Oh, and got a new wheelchair <3 Gosh, I love the music in this game sooo much, Olivias theme is by far my favorite though. Excited for the picnic. >:3

Update 7:
According to Discord, I'm in chapter 15 now. With the phone call at maybe the start of the chapter? I haven't been paying too much attention to the chapter switches, due to not being able to find a way to view them in game, but it just not struck me what Inco's name is supposed to be. Inco G. Nito. Incognito. I'm surprised I didn't notice this sooner.

That earlier joke with Olivia's chest really got me too, gosh I love this game.

Update 6:
Nothing to talk about here, I just wish I was able to play this game more, I'm too anxious to play it around people unfortunately.

Update 5:
I had to unfortunately take a short break due to... Well... Based on the updates, you can probably tell where I am.. Gosh it hurts.

Update 4:
Gosh dang, this game keeps getting better. I'm very glad that Iadakan (Or is it Ladakan?) is NOT an axe-murderer, that scene scared me for a moment, especially when he was smoking. I loved the art style change in that scene too, it set the mood really well, along with the music. I don't know how close I am to the ending, but I'm loving every second of this game.

Update 3:
This game has quickly become my comfort game, playing it when I'm stressed has helped my mood a lot. It keeps getting funnier too! But the story, oh my gosh, it's so well written. There's been few stories that have been able to get me on the "edge of my seat" like this. I'm so excited to see what happens next all the time.

Update 2:
Gosh, that scene where you find Olivia out in the rain, her wheelchair discarded, really got to me. I'm glad it was resolved though. I can't stop thinking about the way she looks up at you afterwards too, it always makes me smile when I think about it.

Update 1:
I love how Inco and Olivia are starting to connect and how Olivia is opening up more. Along with that, the dialogue in this almost always makes me smile. I love the comedy too. Apparently I'm only in chapter 4, according to my Discord status? I'm really excited to see where it goes from here though.

Original Review:
I only have one and a half hours on this game, but I've already fallen in love with it. I am by no means a visual novel person, but this one has been a very clear exception. It's already very wholesome for me, it even came out on Valentines day which helps towards that.

Of course, I'll update this review later, once I've played more of it, but I just had to say this about the game. I highly recommend it, even with the short time I've spent with it.

This is another very strange experience from the developer "Lu," clocking in at just under 10 minutes for me.

I've been having a lot of fun with these games so far though, short but sweet.

The quality has definitely improved in the future games from this one too, getting better environments, such as in DINNERDINNNER, or the only other one I've played at this point, but I bave no doubt for the other ones.

I also really liked the art in this, the clown girl is cute. Although having a simple style, I really like it.

Like I said in my review for DINNERDINNNER, I look forward to playing more games from this developer.
