Hey folks, I am considering buying this. How much playability does this game have? Are there any different game modes, or is it just the same old run through? How many characters and is it always the same linear sequence of events from cradle to the grave? Thanks in advance!...

I would play it in 2025 :) Is there any chance for that?

So does the alien egg thing have any purpose in the game? Since it looks like one of the cute little slug aliens you find in the Basin I thought that bringing an egg all the way there would do something, but nope, at least not that I could figure out. Does anybody have any idea of its use?...

What does the little orb thing do, if anything? I've found it twice in 2 playthroughs. I don't want to get rid of it if it does anything cool.

I ask, because I finished one game without inviting anyone but dogs but I didn't get the achievement. I see three possible reasons why I didn't get it: 1 it wasn't a full game, I started in the second biome, not the first (most likely it is this one). 2 I did go to pick up events, but when the applicant wasn't a dog, I didn't perform the Invite action. 3 I robbed and killed some traders on the way, and I think they were the extra humans that showed up on my end screen, or it might have been the applicants ...
