I hope this game makes one gobillion dollars.

Great art and aesthetics. Immaculate vibes. Constant timer made it feel more run and gun and less stealth though. AI is pretty easy to exploit as well. My best run was $23,550.

I wish there was a mixed option. It's not a bad game, but it's really not that fun either. If you like all the chores parts of Stardew Valley mixed with extremely short runs of Binding of Isaac but without the interesting mechanics that make each run unique, then you'll like this game. This game feels like a shallow version of a bunch of better games smushed into one wide but extremely shallow package. Plus there's no good way to automate all the extremely boring and repetitive parts of the game.

Days are really short as well so half the time it felt like all I was doing was tidying the base, transferring poop from the outhouse to the fertilizer, blessing everyone daily, etc and before you know it the day is over again and you have to make a ton of meals and get ready for the day again. Plus, if you take your time on a run, then by the time you get back everyone is starving, faith is in the dumps, and you have to do more chores to get everything back on track. This is really just trying to find time to actually play the game in between all the chores, but when you consider only the time it takes to actually play the game it's only a couple hours long.

Plus all the unskippable animations for thinks like blessing followers, adding cultists to your base, etc really got on my nerves by the end.

Finally got around to beating this one so I could play the sequel. Amazing game and I shouldn't have postponed beating this one for years. The clone puzzles were especially interesting for me since a few years ago I also made a puzzle game about clones. It's funny knowing that's one of the more disliked mechanics of this game since they were highlights for me.

This game just keeps adding mechanics. 150 days of playtime and I think I'm finally almost done.

Edit: Just beat it. Great game, loved the whole ending section. Can't recommend enough for idle game fans.

Ah, yes, the best Dark Souls game.

Just beat it. Really cool game! I loved the art style. All the various aliens looked great. The AI had some fun behaviors like trying to flee when their health got too low. I almost felt bad hunting them down to collect steal their water.

Small suggestion: Auto-run hotkey

Good thing this game is multiplayer because otherwise it'd be too spooky for me.

Fun little love letter to games like Silent Hill. I've been playing on a Steam Deck and have encountered no issues. Buttons work as described on the controls screen and text is all very readable. I've been enjoying the puzzle box nature of the level so far. The art, music, and sound effects are absolutely fantastic. The story is interesting, there's a bunch of diary entries to read and things in the environment to interact with, and there's even several fully animated cutscenes. And bonus, the mirrors in the game actually have realtime reflections!

Can't believe you can no longer buy this game and the developer's website got turned into a barely updated tech blog. lmao
