Steam Reviews
What players are saying:
"Extremely unique gameplay and narrative from someone who clearly cares about developing and creating. A labor of love, that raises a lot of questions about what we are through layers of narrative."
"Got this on a -55% sale, genuinely the best $13 I've ever spent. Scifi 4X RPG sounds strange but GOD the narrative is incredibly crafted and nothing you do is forgotten, I just ended a civil war I started because I bought so many donuts from the military they worshipped me as a machine god."
"Extremely unique game, a mix of RPG, 4x, and VN. Tough to describe but enjoyable to puzzle through!"
