story7 positive mentions
grinding3 negative mentions
  • Engaging and well-written story with memorable characters and sharp, funny writing, comparable to Disco Elysium.
  • Unique blend of corporate management simulation and RPG elements, offering meaningful player choice and multiple endings.
  • Good optimization with pleasant graphics, fast loading, and a richly developed world that encourages replayability.
  • UI is clunky, unintuitive, and tedious to navigate, especially in assigning executives, managing courses, and terrain acquisition.
  • Management mechanics feel underdeveloped and sometimes unsatisfying, with traditional success metrics and player stats having little impact.
  • High level of repetitive grinding and micromanagement, with some confusing or unclear game systems and occasional game crashing bugs.

  • story

    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 57% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The story blends economic simulation, RPG, and visual novel elements into a compelling corporate cyberpunk narrative filled with deep, humorous characters and ironic, engaging dialogue. Players experience a rich blend of strategic resource management and character-driven missions, offering significant freedom in shaping the storyline. Overall, the narrative is praised for its originality, intrigue, and strong writing reminiscent of titles like Disco Elysium and Terra Invicta.

    • “The characters and the story are genuinely compelling, offering a surprising amount of freedom to play the game, and interact with the world and the characters in almost whatever way you choose.”
    • “It is a mix of economic manager, RPG in a sense that you play a role you choose and manipulate "skills" and "stats" of your "party", and kind of visual novel - the story is interesting, characters are deep, humorous and not preachy, lots of irony.”
    • “The writing has a similar feel to it as Disco Elysium and has an interesting cyberpunk-esque story.”
    • “Currently, I have a can't-proceed game error where completing a mission on the same day as its deadline causes the game to crash permanently, and the save file becomes unusable.”
    • “The UI navigation is very bad; for example, assigning executives to a mission is not the same as equipping them with the equipment they need to complete the mission, and assigning enclave courses is bizarrely located far from everything else, not even on the courses page.”
    • “Why are acquisition missions not just found in the CEO's office at all times? It feels unnecessarily complicated and disconnected from the main gameplay loop.”

  • gameplay

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

    The gameplay offers a satisfying balance of meaningful player choices and depth, with intriguing mechanics and a compelling storyline. While some find the UI confusing and the management mechanics not overly deep, the overall experience feels engaging and rewarding, enhanced by charming visuals and character development.

    • “The game mechanics are easy to understand but have a good amount of depth.”
    • “The game doesn't hold your hand, and the often confusing UI doesn't make it any easier to wrap your head around the deep game mechanics that allow you to fully engage.”
    • “The management mechanics aren't all that deep, yet they have enough weight and player choice to feel satisfyingly meaningful.”
    • “Somehow, it reminds me of Terra Invicta - not by gameplay, but the overall feeling of controlling characters, sending them to missions, growing them and building your own story with it.”

  • graphics

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are charming and well-designed, enhancing the overall experience without requiring high-end hardware. The art style is aesthetically pleasing and perfectly suits the game's theme, reflecting thoughtful optimization and creative effort from the developers.

    • “Good optimization of the graphical engine.”
    • “Charming visuals, cheeky dialogue, intriguing mechanics, interesting storyline.”

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “A lot of 'repeat this 100x' grinding.”
    • “Why is it so tedious to move executives between offices/opportunities?”
    • “It is as bizarrely tedious as it sounds.”

    • “Writing is sharp and funny.”
    • “It is a mix of economic manager, RPG in the sense that you play a role you choose and manipulate 'skills' and 'stats' of your 'party', and kind of visual novel - the story is interesting, characters are deep, humorous and not preachy, with lots of irony.”

    • “Good optimization of the graphical engine.”
    • “Great optimization there.”
    • “I do wish it was a bit more optimized - the game was slow at times, and the lack of keyboard shortcuts was a bit irritating.”

  • music

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music is pleasant and fitting for the game's universe, playing intermittently during important events to enhance the atmosphere.
