  • The game is plagued by bugs and a clunky user interface, making it frustrating to play.

  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is widely criticized, with players rating it as low as 1/10, citing a lack of narrative depth and coherence. Many reviewers noted technical issues, such as freezing and unresponsive UI, which detracted from any potential storytelling experience. Overall, the consensus is that the game fails to deliver a compelling or engaging story.

    • “Game froze and would not go past the quest to 'build level 1 mine'; also cannot read any of the descriptions of rooms and what they do.”
  • gameplay
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay currently suffers from a lack of visual cues and limited mechanics, making it feel underdeveloped despite its potential. Reviewers express hope that future updates will refine the gameplay loop and introduce more engaging features, but caution prospective players to watch gameplay footage before purchasing, as the game's marketing may be misleading.

    • “Overall, the game feels like a strong foundation for an eventual good game, once everything gets polished and the gameplay loop gets refined into something that's engaging.”
    • “Currently, there are very few features and mechanics, but my hopes are high the devs have enough ideas and skill to improve the game.”
    • “I would very strongly suggest to anyone that they watch gameplay before purchase, as I went in under the impression it was an RTS, as the game tries to market itself that way.”
    • “There's a lack of visual cues for everything (buttons don't change visually when you mouse over them, the visual cue that you've tagged an item to be picked up is nearly invisible) and overall the game feels like a strong foundation for an eventual good game, once everything gets polished and the gameplay loop gets refined into something that's engaging.”
