An incredible gem I found on sale, and this is just my first playthrough. Simple, elegant gameplay, wonderful characters, and an enthralling story. 10/10

Splendid game. Resource management, slow burn characters, and important choices.
There are some annoying ui problems here or there that made me have to reload previous saves. But I only ended up losing a few minutes of progress, so not a big deal.

A genuinely unmissable experience. I haven’t felt affected by a game like this in years. There so many moments of triumph and tragedy throughout, and the ending variations bring so much closure to your specific experience.
The narrative, art, and atmosphere are what really shine here. The management aspects of the gameplay are relatively light, but it can be a challenge to figure out a good strategy in the beginning. The save system is pretty forgiving though, and I feel like the mix of narrative and challenge was perfect for me.
It’s not perfect, but I really can’t say enough goods things about it, and if you like strong narratives with enough challenge to give your decisions emotional weight, you really have to play this one.

Basically a clicking version of the old "choose your own adventure" books. Largely just choosing ambiguous decisions to see how the next set of options will appear, with no real reward one way or the other. Interface issues, with constantly having to zoom out and pan awkwardly. I got stuck even trying to figure out how to progress at one point, but I posted 18 hours with this game...in part because a friend recommended it (as a joke?) and I was trudging through, and because I left it running at times. Enjoyable art though.

It is not perfect but I loved it. Loved the story, visuals and soundtrack. Gameplay is good if a bit simplistic. Replayability is there and worked into the story but as Captain I stand with my decisions. Makes me want to read The Terror again. Definitely worth a pick up when on sale.
