    The idea sounds absolutely awesome, but I have serious doubts any of that awesomeness can actually be delivered. Has anyone given it a shot? How did it go? Is it worth it?

      If you like the immersive sim genre, this one is very promising. I feel like it needs to bake just a little longer though.

        I love a good sim, but the procedural bit is difficult to pull off anywhere. Thanks for thr input!

          The world generation is actually one of the best I’ve seen in a 3d space, and the emergent gameplay from that is very fun.

          I feel like the crimes still need a bit of work though.

            I might give it some time to get polished. Might even run into a sale at that point.

      I haven’t played he new content, but the game is pretty cool and very unique. You create your own little corkboard and yarn type thing to try to solve the (procedurally generated) crime. It’s neat.

      Tons of videos of people playing it on YouTube I’m sure. You should check it out.
