As a lover of the post-apocaliptic theme (from Fallout series) plus building games, like Surviving Mars, with a lot of similar mechanics, I should love this game. But... While I enjoy it, I see significant lacks in the game. First, the wiki lacks the quality of Surviving Mars by far. The embedded Tutorial doesn't explain a lot of things it should. The balancing is too rigid without good configurations that add versatility to the play (like the sponsors, and rules in surviving mars). As I saw in Internet, the game had a lot of changes since the release, and to make it longer, they make a lot of resources bottlenecks that risks to make it tedious and boring because ensure the development depends of too many variables and the non-bottleneck sources are limited which turns into a slow play. And in worse place, they explain NOTHING about how to mod the game. Just "install Unity version xxx and you have here an example". That's all. As expected, that turned into a number of mods ridiculous small, compared with thousands for Surviving Mars. Maybe the engine is not lacking (I know that Unity has a lot of things, but that doesn't ensure modding integration). But even if the engine has the potencial, you can do nothing if you lack documentation. This game with a great modding capabilities could fix all this problems and suits a lot more tastes than the original vanilla play. And extend a lot about the lore, that has a lot potential for people imagination, adding post-game new mechanisms. But... It's what it is. After some years after Paradox declare the game ended, I don't have hope they fix that and turned into a great game. And it's a pitty. These game with the moddability of Surviving Mars would turn really wonderful. Well... At least I can say that the music tracks of the default radio are superb. I really like them a lot.
I must admit that I bought the product on a whim. I knew I was going to have free time and so I was looking for a "visual novel" game where I was presented with dialogue or choice options and customizing the story. So I trusted the tags and tried. Conclusion? A total disappointment! Choice matter? Multiple endings? Imagine that you buy a bar of chocolate with almonds, and when you open it, you see a large 300g bar of chocolate... with three almonds. That has been the feeling that this "game" left me. This is NOT a game. It is ONLY a visual novel with THREE choice opportunities, two of which are inconsequential and only change a few scenes, and a final choice between three possible endings, where only one is well developed. Why three stars then? Ok... It should be better explained in GOG which is what you can expect of this product. But, if you really know what you are buying, it is good. Each character is charming in their own way. The product was carefully built. The environment feels immersive. The songs are beautiful. The conversations, with few exceptions, feels very natural. And the writing is embellished without being stuffy with a professional touch. The voice of the characters is appreciated. It makes it much easier to connect with the characters and feel the story. And as a bonus, it has being translated to Spanish. GOG does not correctly indicate all the text translations included. Would you recommend the product? Let's me ask you Do you like the fantasy genre? Do you like the romantic genre? Lesbian scenes doesn't discomfort you? If you answer yes to all three questions above, then you will enjoy this novel. Is it worth the price? If you really love the romantic genre and fantasy... maybe. If you only like it, the base price is too high. However, at the time I'm writing this, it's 50% off. So, it's at a price similar to go to the cinema. At the right pace, it will be 5-7 hours of content. At sale price, I guess it's a fair deal.
