“Terrible game. No idea how the reviews are so high with how utterly unenjoyable it is.”
“Save yourself some time, this isn't really like the trailers. It feels like a very early concept that requires a LOT of time in the oven, with some real focus on actually making the game enjoyable.”
“really fun concept but an actual snoozefest. boring gameplay and clunky controls”

— a player, Steam review · 25 hrs played“I don't know if this happened from a recent update or what. But as of recently a lot of items are not spawning in, key items be it that which is preventing us from being able to complete majority of missions. Otherwise the game is fun but as of right now until they fix it it is…”
