Defect transforms creation into a zero-sum game where today's triumph becomes tomorrow's existential threat. Its genius lies in forcing you to sabotage your own work—not as failure but as foresight. The game doesn't just simulate betrayal; it makes you complicit in it, architect of both your success and inevitable downfall. Perfect for those who understand that attachment to creation is the first step toward disappointment.

Excellent classic ship building added onto the new idea of cyclical combat, great game. Maybe needs a little more replayability, but who am I to say after 40 hours, hah.
