This amazing game is a must play!
Story is deep rich and worth exploring to its full potential. You wont get bored, with this beautiful story game!! One of my all time favorite point clicker games. I also would like to point out how unique the art design is on the world and each individual characters.. Great detailed has been added to the different choices you have to make and outcomes that are detrimental to the story as a whole.

As a big fan of the previous games (Stasis and Stasis: Bone Totem), I knew the studio was South African, but the distinct flavour of this game was an unexpected delight.
While the puzzles aren't the most challenging, for a narrative game such as this I honestly prefer the steady progression via storytelling over obscure hidden logic.

A truly unique game that gives Disco Elysium and/or Planescape:Torment vides at times. Admittedly, I used a guide and because the game world is so large, I assume it would be very frustrating without a guide. Despite using a guide, I was intrigued the entire time due to the unique setting and characters you encounter along the way. This game certainly has a unique vibe.

I am really into this Type of Games, so jumped in with high Expectations just because of how beautyfully it is designed, but sadly my Gameplay kept mostly unorganized at first due to not getting any Story-Background in the Beginning and lots of the Fetch-Quest are not very good described, which makes it more a Puzzle- and Search-Game^^
May alter this in some Points after a while in, but cant say for now that it catched me somewhere besides its appearance.. 🍀

What an un-usual story, it's has an apoloytic theme and an engaging story with beautiful graphics.
It's like all of the Brotherhood games , bordering on the horror side of things, but that said as someone not into horrors I find the Sci Fi element keeps me engaged.
The only downside is as the story is quite complex, I do find myself running around trying to work out what to do, I have found with this game that it is best to explore the location and if you can't work out what to do , move onto to another location and explore until you find something that can be used in one of the other locations.
Overall it's an excellent game and I certainly will be playing it until i complete it.

It is good. Worth it if you like point an click, good artwork, engaging enough story. Choices have some impact on outcomes. We accidentally killed all the people we were trying to save. Whoops.

just finished the game, great story with interesting unique characters , each and every one of them, the dialouge portraits remind me of those retro models from Fallout 1 and 2 and startcraft , trippy ending too XD
