I have two questions

[DemonicShadow]

First off, what's the difference between this and the regular edition??

Like is there any gameplay differences?

And which version is better overall?

The regular edition, for reasons that make perfect sense once you start playing the game yourself, takes place in a small window on your desktop. The World Machine Edition runs in a virtual operating system and the game window takes place inside of that.

Like is there any gameplay differences?

The differences are mostly very minor, mainly the ability to walk diagonally, a map on the fast travel screen and additional extra wallpapers, themes and character bios to unlock throughout the game. The way they handle this is very genius, too.

And which version is better overall?

Depends on what kind of device you have. If you have a Windows computer, the original game was meant for that and is the version I would recommend first for the more authentic experience. But if you're on Linux or want to play it on the Steam Deck, the original barely works if at all but the World Machine Edition works just fine on those.

But both versions are great and worth playing, for their own reasons.
