Have you ever been frustrated with an automated response from a company? Perhaps you reported a facebook post which was clearly violating the community guidelines only to have an automated system respond, letting you know that no action will be taken? Perhaps you forgot your gmail password and have not been able to recover your account using account recovery? Gotten your phone unlock code wrong too many times and had your phone automatically wiped? These are all symptoms of modern automated systems which automate tasks that are done better by humans.

If you enjoy a believable story of automation gone wrong, this game is for you.
Its an extrapolation of "Single Point of Failure: The Day Google Forgot To Check Passwords" by Tom Scott.

Issues I have experienced:

I had quite a few issues early on, the game would crash while building the shader cache and would trigger the game to forcibly play the extremely long intro each time I started the game.

Combat is was clearly designed for console/controller.
Unfortunately this makes it feel clunky using keyboard and mouse and the automatic aim assistance has caused me to miss a large number of longer range sharpshot bow shots.

Hit registration is terrible when the enemies are running away. I noticed when combating sawtooths from behind most of my shots would clearly connect but not register as hits.


System requirements:

I am playing on Ultimate Quality at 1440p on an old Xeon E3-1241-v3 CPU (2014) with an RTX3070 GPU (2020). Most games are not as CPU bottlenecked as this game, other games like ARK and CSGO load my GPU to near 100% but this game sits the CPU between 60-70% and the GPU at around 10-20%. All 8 logical cores are evenly utilized which tells me it would likely scale better with newer higher core count chips. FPS seems to be acceptable and I have not experienced any stutter.

Will update as I progress.

Great early access game with great potential.
