Owner

As a fan of libertarian philosophy, Owner was a fun experience. The game sometimes feeds you moral lessons; but it is also true that you learn the principles of individual responsibility naturally as you play. The mechanics are smooth, and the storyline is engaging without being overbearing. It's an excellent game for anyone, entertaining for some hours. Highly recommend!

This game, in its simplicity, has truly made me roll with laughter and generates the same effect in everyone I've had try it. The absurdity of modern civilization is represented in all its splendor after being reduced to its bare essentials. In a way, it's the life simulator closest to reality that I've ever seen. Especially when it comes to asking permission from the town hall to build a cowshed. Highly recommended for those who want a short but rich indie game that will leave the player with the feeling of having learned something more about how the modern world works.

Fun little game with a fun little story, quite a chinscratcher with food for thought. It shows that it is a work in progress. It would be nice to have more control on the window size on windowed mode, but forcing it fullscreen it shows up alright. Loved the hot pirates!

What a surprise! Very funny :)

The gameplay seems to be a knockoff of harvest moon using some type of RPG maker game, but it's very basic and simplified. You play as Bob, who has no memory of anything, he's a phsycopath that decides to threaten to kill people, gets punished, and determines that the police and government are in his way of making profits because taxes suck and he didn't agree to the rules of society. *SPOILER* There is some kind of weird teenager "I am so SMRT" anti-government political message that I don't really comprehend, as the game ends with a civil war Bob helped cause, everyone dies, but Bob, who goes to a new village thats peaceful and happy and way way better for some undefined reason, but at least, Bob is now rich from being an armsdealer. You have to do some things in a particular order to progress the game, and it's not always clear what or exactly who to talk to. You can blast through the game pretty fast by just save scumming gambling at the Casino. Once you get 50k or so you can just buy everything you need. The dialogue is forgettable, with such things as "I'm Poor" "I'm Rich" "♥♥♥♥" "Damn" "I'm a hot pirate" "Work is hard" If your looking for entertainment, well, you might find a tiny amount in trying to speed through the game before the 2 hour refund window.

Even though it’s kinda rough around the edges, the game is fun. The ironic and relatable stuff, like the town hall mission with zombie public employees, cracked me up. It also makes you think about philosophical questions, like the morality of government. The beginning is a bit slow but it gets better when you start working your way up to getting rich and corrupt the politicians lol
