INSOMNIA: The Ark
INSOMNIA is a dieselpunk sci-fi RPG about the slowly degrading remnants of human society attempting to survive on an abandoned space metropolis. Develop your character, explore lovingly handcrafted locations, interact with peculiar NPCs and factions, craft equipment and try to stay alive in this brutal world. Welcome to Object 6 – a colossal space station set on a dismal 400-year journey in search of a new home. Your character wakes from cryogenic sleep — stricken with a rare psychological disease and unknowingly holding humanity’s last hope in his bare hands… Exploration is rewarding…and dangerous Survive hunger, thirst, fatigue while searching for valuable technology and resources in over 70 unique locations. Pay attention – INSOMNIA’s nuanced world can conceal unexpected quests from treacherous characters, as well as savage enemies and deadly hazards.

I can't for the life of me understand why this game wasn't more popular. The world building, the dialoge, the atmosphere, the setting, Nior diesel punk, the gun play itn't super crash hot but it'll do, the amount of detial put into every room and textures is really incredible everything about the world and spaces you explore i love. I know its not perfect but i feel so bad for the devs considering it only had 650 peak players. Anyway would recomend playing has much better story and mechanics then any AAA out there.

a great rpg that never go t much fanfare and has changed so much since coming out, i really like this game. while its buggy as hell and some of the mechanics are broken. the story is great so far still haven't finished it reminds me of mafia 3 when it first came out broken bu the story is enthralling enough to keep me going

UPDATE:
The more I play the more impressed I get.
Blade runner like sophisticated story plus paranormal weirdness, so very interesting, reeling me in nonstop.
------
I'm giving a positive because of the detailed world building and story.
Mind, lots of reading.
But hunger, thirst, somnia are working against you.
Inventory carry weight severely limited, max of 82 with a good backpack,
Is my character ill or incapacitated, kind of seems so.
And everything suffers from durability issues:
Difficult mechanics that restrict unnecessarily and substract from the enjoyment.
But if you are patient and interested in the world, it pays off.
Mines Minigame: somewhat obscure resolving. What worked for me, imagine a clock:
start, click on border at 9 o'clock, 3 o'clock, then 10 o'clock, then a little above/below 10 till curves get paired. Done when READY appears.
--- Disclosure:
71 y.o., I use C.E. in everything I play. Some hints for other mature gamers or the interested.
There is a ready made free table by KatzSmile at fearlessrevolution with very useful entries still working. To populate values, enter inventory, backpack and character and click on things a little while.
Or you can find entries yourself:
-- Current Durability address (max durability is current + hex 38):
Easiest are weapons as the durability decreases with each shot.
Not used is 100. Divide the 2 durability values shown for the item in inventory then that x 100.
Search Type Float, Value Between slightly lower and higher as the real values are not rounded as the shown are.
For example, 100.0000 initial if unused, decreasing to 99.xxxx or 98.xxxx once shot, etc.
-- Overweight: Item weight address is Current Durability address minus hex 70.
If you want to carry all you find without getting paralyzed with an overweight, do this.
Find with C.E. the address for the weight of any item you will keep.
Change the value to a negative one that balances/is as greater as you want than the totality of your carried weight, and your overload goes away and you can move again.
The value gets reset in new game sessions, just repeat the above.
-- All Type Float, Simple Values:
Health, Stamina, XP, Hunger, Thirst, Somnia, Durability current and Max of any item - kept throughout the game, for example 99999 -, Tokens, ammo in chambers and magazines, Quantity current and Max of ammo, Cost and Weight of items.
-- Skill points, and Level are Type 4 Bytes, Exact.
Enjoy your game !

This game is actually really good.. it's a shame it didn't get finished. I love these types of quirky futuristic games. However, because the game wasn't finished, it's hard to know if the quest you are on needs more investigation, or it's unable to be completed.. this is mostley something you may encounter later game. Honestly the first 50 hours of this game is brilliant, and i had a blast.
