Designed in a way to force a gamer to spend more than 2 hours before deleting:

1) No speed control, so a gamer has to wait a lot for the game time to pass;
2) No saving of progress, so, if a gamer wants to take a break, they must leave the game opened, hence, increasing the "time played".
3) Because the content is revealed slowly, it creates a feeling: "Okay, now it is boring, but maybe later it will become complex and interesting, let's wait a bit." This never happens, though.

The whole game can be finished in 20 minutes, if we could increase the speed. No replayability.

Юлик сделал игру гораздо более насыщенную контентом, в десятки раз более артовым визуалом, такого же интеллектуального уровня, но один, а не в восьмером, и за несколько месяцев, а не несколько лет.

After playing this masterpiece i lost both legs and my friends started calling me "Chert". The druids from the prison gave me a hint about the traitor and trained me how to smell gases. 12 refunds out of 10.

Overall Impression: Pretty good! Playing through all three levels is quite engaging, and achievement hunting adds extra entertainment value - what more could you ask for?

While it might not reach the heights of FTL or Into the Breach, it's still quite enjoyable and worth spending a few hours with.

The game shines in several aspects: the visuals are charming, the lore is entertaining, and there are some clever Easter eggs scattered throughout. The core gameplay mechanics are interesting, with the final puzzle often requiring some serious thought. I particularly enjoyed the rock-paper-scissors combat system, which adds a nice tactical layer to the experience.
Special mention goes to the developer's dedication - their response to bug fixes has been impressively swift. I checked the game next day after release and was pleasantly surprised to find that zero day bugs had been completely resolved!

There are some minor drawbacks. The building system could use some balancing - some structures provide rather negligible bonuses, while others seem to lack clear purpose. The soldier improvement mechanics don't feel as impactful as they could be, since success in combat largely depends on mastering the rock-paper-scissors system. A time-skip feature would be a welcome addition, though this is a minor concern that could be addressed in future updates.

Regarding the controversial font choice, I actually find it quite charming. It reminds me of classic 90s quest games, adding a nice vintage feel to the experience.

Final Verdict: 6.5/10 - A solid score, especially impressive for a developer's debut title!
