  • Unique and flexible building system allowing for detailed, free-form construction and blueprint creation.
  • Engaging and thought-provoking story with a strong community-building theme and social realism.
  • Rich crafting and research mechanics that provide a satisfying progression and gameplay depth for players who enjoy complex simulation.
  • Game is plagued with frequent, sometimes game-breaking bugs including crashes, NPC pathing issues, lost items, and save corruption.
  • Lack of polish with frustrating UI and inventory management, unclear tutorials, and poor mission guidance leading to player confusion.
  • Appears abandoned or minimally supported by developers with major features incomplete, unaddressed bugs, and multiplayer very limited.

  • story

    86 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    27% positive mentions, 70% neutral mentions, 3% negative mentions

    The story is generally praised for its compelling and socially relevant themes, engaging community-building elements, and emotional depth, though many players find it hampered by vague mission instructions, repetitive dialogue, and significant bugs that can block progression. While it offers an interesting, immersive narrative that encourages exploration and crafting, some feel the ending is anticlimactic or incomplete, and the lack of clear quest guidance can make advancing frustrating without external help. Overall, fans of story-driven survival and building games may appreciate the experience, especially if patient with its technical issues and minimal hand-holding.

    • “This game...... is incredible, beautiful, fun, good story, focus catching.”
    • “Beautiful story, beautiful graphics, a very sophisticated world building system.”
    • “The main focuses of the game are automating production and optimising energy, building better shelter for you and your friends, fulfilling their personal quests and exploring the whole factory to find out the truth of the terrible accident in which your parents lost their life.”
    • “There are so many glitches in the game, stories won't progress because the last mission didn't save properly, materials will go missing if you double click to add it where it's supposed to go instead of clicking and dragging... the list is honestly pretty large.”
    • “Missions lack information, when you select the mission in your journal it will say something like 'find a way across the gap' and dialogue with the other characters will say to attach something to the crane to make a bridge but nothing after that.”
    • “It's so buggy I'd expect it to be in early access and I'm surprised it's not, but I'd almost be willing to accept the general glitching if there weren't multiple instances of a character bugging out and not giving you quests or uncompletable quests.”

  • gameplay

    37 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    22% positive mentions, 56% neutral mentions, 22% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers an innovative building and crafting system centered around community creation and resource management, which some players find engaging and chill despite its repetitive nature. However, widespread bugs, especially in core mechanics like building and NPC interactions, significantly disrupt the gameplay flow, leading to frustration and broken experiences. While the game shows promise with its concept and graphics, many reviewers note it feels unfinished and in need of substantial bug fixes to reach its full potential.

    • “So the game takes place in a big abandoned factory, where your character can research stuff, gather resources, craft things and gather followers, with gameplay revolving around the destiny of the homeless people living in the abandoned factory and how you can create hope for them by creating a community where they can be useful and follow their dreams.”
    • “The general gameplay to me is very fun to just chill to; while it may be repetitive, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Plenty of games are extremely repetitive, like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, and do it well, as does this in my opinion.”
    • “The game has a fun building mechanic using blueprints that you can save and stuff, which is neat.”
    • “So many bugs with placement, items can just disappear into the ether if you hit the wrong button, and the core gameplay feature (creating a community of NPCs that all work together) is flat out broken.”
    • “The minor bugs are annoying, but the structural problems with the gameplay are deep, and won't be fixed with little developer updates.”
    • “This game is bad, very broken, and near impossible to play with the crazy building/crafting mechanic, don't waste your money.”

  • stability

    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    4% positive mentions, 5% neutral mentions, 91% negative mentions

    The game suffers from widespread stability issues, including numerous bugs, glitches, and frequent freezing, significantly impacting gameplay and quest progression. While its core concept and building system are praised for flexibility, the unfinished and buggy state leads to frustration, with many users recommending it needs major fixes before being fully playable.

    • “There are so many glitches in the game, stories that won't progress because the last mission didn't save properly, materials that will go missing if you double click to add it where it's supposed to go instead of clicking and dragging... the list is honestly pretty large.”
    • “The game is buggy and unfinished, you cannot get the 100% achievements.”
    • “It's so buggy I'd expect it to be in early access and I'm surprised it's not, but I'd almost be willing to accept the general glitching if there weren't multiple instances of a character bugging out and not giving you quests or uncompletable quests.”

  • graphics

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    57% positive mentions, 22% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    The game’s graphics are generally praised for their charming art style, pleasing visuals, and sophisticated world-building, enhancing the immersive and relaxing atmosphere. Although some users note minor technical issues like clunky elements, texture problems, and limited resolution support, the overall aesthetic is well-received and complements the game’s engaging storyline and gameplay.

    • “Not sure if anyone is planning on moving the game forward or not, it really is a good game, challenging and thought provoking, tender and exciting, the graphics and idea is excellent.”
    • “Game with an addictive storyline, interesting large locations, and good graphics.”
    • “Beautiful story, beautiful graphics, a very sophisticated world building system.”
    • “Graphics are too clunky.”
    • “Beyond these minor issues (graphic settings not saving on relaunch, some texture problems with workbenches, and no support for 21:9 resolutions), the game is pretty good.”
    • “* Graphics are pleasing.”

  • grinding

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in this game is notably tedious and time-consuming, involving extensive farming, crafting, and resource gathering to maintain your community and build structures. While the building system is versatile and satisfying for players who enjoy detailed crafting, frequent bugs and clunky mechanics exacerbate the grind, making progress frustrating for those less patient. Overall, the game requires a strong investment in repetitive tasks, which may appeal to fans of farming sims but deter others.

    • “So you will end up doing everything yourself, which makes the entire game into a farming sim to keep your non-functional NPCs from starving.”
    • “So this game (still) isn't perfect with some clunky game mechanics and also a lot of grinding in creating items.”
    • “Recommended with a caveat... the building system is super awesome and versatile but is also pretty finicky and requires a lot of grinding and work.”

  • music

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The music is generally well-received, praised for its quality and alignment with the game's theme, contributing positively to the narrative experience. However, some users find the soundtrack repetitive over extended play, suggesting a greater variety of music would enhance enjoyment.

    • “It has some strengths like good music and artwork, an interesting community-building concept, and a nonviolent approach to player progression.”
    • “I really like the theme of the narrative and the wonderful soundtrack.”
    • “Maybe more choice of music.”
    • “The West Wing music becomes annoying after the 2-hour mark!”

  • emotional

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The emotional aspect of the game is praised for its engaging story and heartfelt parallel storylines, with an ending that deeply resonates and nearly brings players to tears.

    • “The story was engaging, and the ending almost made me cry.”
    • “The parallel storylines are also really heartfelt.”

  • monetization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users feel that the game's monetization is fair and not a cash grab, noting the developers' effort and commitment rather than rushed profit-driven tactics. Some express frustration toward accusations of greed, emphasizing that if players dislike it, they are free to avoid the game.

  • optimization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's optimization is poor, with high power consumption and frequent crashes, but it remains enjoyable for those who can overlook these issues.
