The game looks and sounds good. There are some intriguing plot developments that kept me going for some time. The problem is, the gameplay itself is completely, utterly, eyes-in-the-back-of-my-head tedious. The entirety of the challenge is not in managing the dwindling resources (we're low on this, prioritize that, etc) - instead, you just assign everyone a single task (coincidentally, there are 3 basic tasks in early game) and spend the rest of your playtime making sure their tum-tums are full and their diapers are clean, because these lemmings WILL go outside into shriveling cold at 15% health, and the game WILL NOT tell you they feel bad until it's possibly too late. There is no team management interface either, you just have to peek at everyone every minute like a helicopter mom. I more or less put myself on a self-sustaining loop in an hour or two (tip: get the bare minimum resources and then study - raising a skill takes a surprisingly short time), then got drip-fed the plot over the next hour as I spent my resources to make my resource boxes bigger. I only got this far because I wasn't in the mood for anything strenuous. In the end, I overextended on a single upgrade just as my life chambers broke down, and lost half of my crew. I should probably restart, but over to my left is a wall of drying paint that's woefully unwatched.
