This game is amazing, and it's not hard to explain why. It is a perfect mixture of sci-fi, horror, survival, exploration, shipbuilding, and crew management. There is really no other games like this. The writing and lore implications and the many different endings can be both incredible and terrifying at times.

This game scratches a certain gaming itch I never knew I had. Which is why it’s frustrating that it feels like the devs have moved on and don’t really want to support it anymore.
NO UPDATES? NO MULTIPLAYER? NO MOD SUPPORT? Come on.

HOW ABOUT A GENESIS ALPHA TWO?

Idk, perhaps Team17 just doesn’t see it as worth the effort because they’ve got bigger titles like Overcooked, Dredge, Hell Let Loose, and Golf With Your Friends.

I’m not into those games, but I recognize them due to their popularity. But this is the only game from this publisher that I’ve actually played.

Really cool and unique idea that I wish existed in other games. The idea of exploring open space with a ship and crew of clones you customize over time, looking for different resources and fighting off pirate boarding parties is an extremely interesting one, especially in first person with 3D graphics.

Unfortunately, it feels very unfinished. The constant infestation spread in your ship just becomes more and more of a chore over time, fighting enemies is like original Doom, but everything is a bullet sponge, your crew doesn't help you with any combat, and the one aspect that feels like it's supposed to be the long-term progression (unlocking new cloning genes) is very slow and doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I barely progressed along it before finishing the story and, by then, I was just tired of spending most of my time micro-managing the "automated" turrets and manually dealing with eggs. Then checked the store page and realized it's already abandoned.
