cool game ig

good

Very good game. I've only played till one ending tho. Lots more to discover!

buen papers, please

I like this so far, a fun checkpoint game, longer than I expected, worth the cost.

Overall I have enjoyed it (but see update at the end). It is similar to Papers Please but with its own scifi personality. Some features could be better explained, such as the isolation ward. What are the different tests and why choose one over the other? What are the consequences of the different choices (kill? release? what difference does it make?). What do the the subject states mean (should I keep treating someone who is paranoid? calm?). How should I weigh ward composition (better/faster outcomes with more individuals with a particular affliction?). I see stuff happening and I make choices, but I dont really feel like I know why or what difference it makes to the overall story. Also, the connection between your actions and the broader situation inside and outside is not clear - you are just doing your job and stuff is happening. There is no sense of individual continuity with someone coming in one day with one weird malady and another day with something else. Is it connected to something you did? Something going on outside? Something going on in the facility? Maybe, but you dont really feel like you have any idea and you dont really feel like you get to know or care about the people you are checking every day (Amr came in with a weird infection today and I called security and they dragged him out in a body bag, does that mean I wont see him back tomorrow but now with an alien heart? I dont know, I wouldnt notice, and I dont know if it would even matter). Maybe it starts to make more sense later on (I am only on level 2, day 14) but for now it is fun but not very deep and supposedly that is what motivates multiple playthroughs to get different endings so I'm hoping that improves. I still recommended it because I enjoy the overall gameplay and the look, but I understand some of the more negative reviews about lack of clarity, depth, and challenge. It is a logic puzzle game with gadgets and some minor time pressure, resource management, and strategy elements. It isnt Papers Please. (review and recommendation updated below after reaching endgame) ok, I got to the endgame with the branching timeline and I am going to have to change my recommendation to a no. It is clear that there just wasnt enough thought (or maybe just time) given to this and other key elements of the game. I was hoping that the earlier lack of clarity in the consequences of your actions and choices would get better as you got to the end, but it is exactly the opposite. Now you are supposed to go back and redo sections to make different choices to get different outcomes, but you still have no idea how to do that because you have no idea what those earlier choices did. The endgame actually compounds the earlier problems rather than resolving them. The prospect of going back and redoing earlier sections (endgame branching mechanism) just to get different, essentially random (because you are given exactly zero information on how your choices matter), outcomes is not appealing and I dont intend to do it. Overall the gameplay is fun, but the lack of information on the choices you make and their potential consequences is a real disappointment and turns what could have been a clever choices-matter game into a mindless mini-game clicker with a cool look and vibe. I think that it could be saved with a serious effort to give players real information to guide choices, but until then I cannot recommend it.
