This game is wonderful. There's a lot of content already and more is added with each update, the complete game seems like it'll be expansive and in depth building upon what is already there. My favourite thing, however, is how relaxing and soothing this game can be, the graphics, weather effects and music come together so nicely that it's the perfect game to come home after a bad day at work, snuggle up into some fluffy blankets, load up sandbox mode and get to building your town. That's not to say it's too easy, you can make it easy if you want to but there's plenty of challenge to be had at the same time. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product and what that will have in store for players. TL;DR: Hours of fun already, relaxing but not too easy unless you want it to b, certainly worth the purchase!

I have a terrible habit of starting game after game and then not finishing them (or finishing many, many years after I start), this was not the case with I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream. I played through the whole thing in one sitting several years ago. More recently I played it again, also in one sitting. It gets its hooks into you and doesn't let go. It's also a game that I tend to recommend to people provided it fits their particular tastes. It is wonderfully told and the beginning speech is one of my favourite pieces of exposition. It touches on subjects that can turn out very poorly if not handled with tact and care, but even for me who can be rather sensitive to certain subjects, it was handled well enough that I still thoroughly enjoyed it, even if that one scenario did make me squirm rather a lot past a certain point. I never liked yellow anyway (vague point is vague). I don't like games being too hard and this one hits the sweet spot in that sense, it's not easy and I certainly had to look things up once or twice but not once was the atmosphere or immersion disrupted. I'm a person who plays for feel, story and atmosphere, not challenge. My partner played and he likes more of a challenge than I do and he also thoroughly enjoyed it. Be prepared for a dark, bleak story that is wonderfully executed with atmosphere to spare.
