I am not a fan of the play style.
The H scenes are short cut scenes.
The game got stuck while finding a diary. had to save and exit and unable to continue.
The story is short

A good start to an early access adventure.

I came to look for a succubus, but the succubus was already waiting for me. How did she know?

Its ok,
Its not bad,
Its not great,
the back and forth time jumps throw you off a bit at first.
but its ok.

The early access game started out good and seemed to be going in the right direction. Until the recent update.

The developers decided to add grind hindrances and blocked quality of life items all the while adding unrealistic vehicles in a planetary environment where simply breathing is a challenge.

Examples:

- You can 3D print an entire quad vehicle, but you are not able to 3D print a simple oxygen or water bottle in order to have a stock of air and water for extended exploration.

- after this update your tools such as torch and grinder erode after a couple of minutes of use, requiring repairs.

- A motorcycle on mars? now there a sure fire way to crack your helmet open and die on a rock laden landscape.

Many of these obvious issues have been voiced by the community, but the developers simply reply with. " we have made a decision to do it this way"

So in essence: play the game the way we tell you to play it.. not the way you want to play it.

Now a Developer may reply to this review with the company line of " thank you for your input, however.. blah blah blah." but if you want to see it for yourself.. take a peek at the forums.

I have lost all desire to play the game. Money well wasted....

The game was good until they decided to add real people such as Doja Cat and Liz Katz.

Providing my support is the very least I can do for the bravery and never ending determination of all Ukraine

This is a really in depth yet simple to learn tycoon game that has you hooked from the start.

I like what the game has so far. It is a bit janky in some areas, and the translation is a bit rough around the edges. But I look forward to the next update.

I had this game on my wishlist for a couple years and was always hesitant to buy it. However, I finally went ahead and tried it after watching a couple youtube vids.

12 hours into the game and I figured I was getting the hang of it. until.....

I was simply trying to add a section of a raft floor and as soon as I released the part for snap on connection. the whole raft just disappeared. all of it's content and all of 12 hours of effort.

So I loaded a previous save, and tried to continue. After making a raft and traveling from one island to another. I noticed the horizon was no longer flat. that is to say the character was walking around with a head tilt. very disorienting. Once again I had to close the game and reload a save to continue.

Another issue was when I made adjustment to the graphic settings. After doing so and reloading the game, all the trees that were cut were suddenly all back. this insta growth disrupted a work area I had cleared and sent items like 4 dew catchers flying into space.

Still trying to like the game I once again loaded a save and played for a time until the final bug curtailed any ability to continue. After drinking water to satisfy thirst. an error occurred on the character stats. instead of a number beside thirst and tired. 0 to 100. it was replaced by the letters NaN and would not clear.

The NaN issue was reported since July 22. and has not been addressed as of February 5 of 2023. Also since I did not catch this right away it corrupted all 4 saves which is the maximum that are kept and get bumped down with each new save game.

This brought the game to a non playable end.

All of these issue are surprising for a game that has been in development since 2018 (5+ years)

So now the developer has my money and I no longer have a playable game. It has been shelved and may take another 5 years before these things are corrected.

The developer himself said in the forums.

"The tree hack has no priority for us to fix at the moment,"

"The "tilting head" issue is something we can't explain why it happens. However, the optimisations we're working on at the moment will make the game run cleaner, which means that issues like the "tilting head" will disappear (or so we hope)."

Imagine.. this is from the developer. "we cant explain"..." or so we hope"....


I should have left it on the wishlist. total buyers regret....

Save your money people. this one does not work after 5+ years of early access development. and it does not seem like these and other issues will be fixed anytime soon.

Uninstalled...
