Exalted Seracthon

**I was a play tester for this game, and received a key from the developer Definitely unlike most games I've played, which I appreciate. This is very much a space game, however it isn't based on a set of mechanics, the story puts you in a different situation where you aren't just doing the usual conquest and industry stuff. If you were wondering what else there is to do in this genre, you might like this game. It is hard to categorize it, I can't say its "something-like" because its 'like' a few different things. It felt like a table top rpg to me, which I appreciate. [b]Pros: [/b] -Detailed and immersive. The game is hand-crafted, uses visual storytelling as well as dialog. I'm not seeing content that doesn't have a reason for being there - I don't know what everything means at first, but its making my brain work. -Space flight is nice, it feels like the early days of Star Citizen, when the flight model wasn't broken. -The theme stays on topic, the adventure is not quite like what you do in a combat game. Its really what I'd expect a psychic to be going through actually, things get weird for you. [b]Cons:[/b] -It has a long tutorial period like Mass Effect, so until you realize that, the game feels like its got a slow start. Read all the tuts, use the keymap diagram or the manual - it takes a while to get used to all the inputs. -There is combat, but its not what I expected. Some fights seem easy and some are insane. I get that you're not supposed to be good at combat, the game is about being a telepath, so this really isn't a Con if you know what this game is, BUT don't think everyone will understand this at first. -There is very little voice acting. This game would be better with fully voiced dialogs. I hope there is an update at some point that adds this.

It's a psychological and UI horror game.
