“Transphobic dev and the game is actually pretty fun.”

“This game gives you a vast world to explore and the tools to traverse it are intuitive and consistent, without ever having to hold your hand. If it seems like you should be able to go somewhere, you can although it…”

“I played it for a little while, and here’s what I can say: It’s fun. The only thing is that it feels too fast to be a tactical shooter, yet at the same time seems too sluggish to be a fast-paced shooter it’s kind of…”

“great game, glad to see it isnt completely abandoned i think they just need new people and less chuds.”

“Very jank at the moment. With that said, nothing has truly recaptured the feeling of playing immersive sims for the first time in the same way that peripeteia does. When the gameplay works ie mobility and exploration,…”
