“It's a yes, but sadly dead. It has been almost a year and a half since this game shut down development, but I still think about it at least once a month. I just needed to shout this into the void for no one to hear. Thank you for your time.”

“Creative vision and game design 10/10, business model and corporate backing 0/10. Truly an amazing game with tons of unique features and abilities, its genuinely a tragedy this game died and I hope some day we see something like it again.”

“The Devs publicly dropped the game in December 2024, community is entirely dead, yet Tripwire keeps it on the steam store and still advertises it in sales... DO NOT BUY, YOU WILL WASTE YOUR MONEY.”
