Skopje '83

If you enjoy exploration and slow-burn gameplay, this game is for you. No, it won't hand you a waypoint to your next objective. You need to listen, explore and sometimes brute-force your way forward, but then the sense of accomplishment is that much greater. The world is split into three different zones. Each zone has a unique visual style that reflects it's story and main boss. Last loop I was exploring Vesna's overgrown nature zone and I love it. I just found [spoiler]the underground part[/spoiler] before I died. The gameplay loop can be misleading at first. You start off thinking you need to level up and collect as much stuff as you can, only to lose it when you die or run out of time. I realized it's better to set a specific goal for each loop. You can then use the time you have efficiently to achieve the goal: - If you're going for a boss, then craft a good weapon, get ammo, maximize your level. - If you're collecting/exploring, then stash the valuable stuff (energy bars) in your DOM for the next loop. I'm still only 9 hours in, so things may change, but this approach clicked for me. Some suggestions: -Allow saving mid-loop at specific spots like DOM or Strujko terminals. Right now, not being able to save means I have to commit to a full 1h 15min run. If I die mid-loop then I either have to re-commit to the full time, or stop playing early. - Damage indicator on tougher enemies and bosses. Some enemies have a lot of health, and ammo gets used up very fast. It would help to know how effective my damage is or if I should come back with a better weapon. - Pause timer when reading journal I'd like to be able to read the journal in peace, so maybe pause the game while I read it :)

I love the freedom in this game, no markers telling you where to go, no strict missions. You’re on your own to figure things out, just by exploring, listening, and learning from the environment, almost like real life. It’s perfect for players who enjoy discovering things on their own, not for those who want the game to babysit them every step of the way. 😆 Still, I feel like it could use more weapons and upgrades to make things more dynamic. And since the map is massive, the seven‑day cycle feels too short. Extending it would give us more time to explore and really soak in each session.

This game slaps and it deserves more recognition. Please give it a try

Roguelite and survivalcraft just doesn't go together

I want this game to be fun, but sadly it is not. While, the graphics are cool gameplay bad :(

This game is an absolute blast. It has a compelling story, fun weapons, and a wonderful charm that manages to encapsulate Skopje. If you're wondering about all the negative reviews, it's because this game is meant to feel like an easter egg hunt. Especially in the early days of the game, there wasn't much info and a whole lot of secrets. In truth, there is so much to this game, that this wonderful community discovered. Give it a shot, it's worth it. Needs more cats though

The world design feels pretty good, the concept behind the gameplay loop is interesting but the actual gameplay itself feels incredibly soulless and lacking personality. Exploration and looting is uninspiring and the sense of progression was absent in the time I played.

Great fun, still very new to the game and have so much to figure out. The only thing I would add, is world options. Like being able to change the duration of time within a day. Default 24min a day, 2x day 48min, 3xday 72min. A second world option I would add if anything. Is after first game "Ending" unlocks ways to extend "Ending" Otherwise there is so much i still don't understand and these puzzles are keeping me happily puzzled. good luck Pioneer.
