wanted to love this more than I did. the setting is so evocative. everything is undercut by the mid-2000’s time gated F2P mechanics.

of course, I can’t expect to play a game this dense for free, and I did pay the $9 subscription for a month, but content is still time gated with the sub, you just get double energy. never have I played a game that didn’t want to be played quite like this one.

had to tap out when I advanced my ambition storyline to the point where I was just grinding for resources and not even reading the prompts.

I am grateful to this game though, for introducing me to the other offerings from Failbetter and Weather Factory!
