What players say

Players are split on this text-based RPG. Many praise its inclusive LGBT+ options and political choice mechanics, but just as many criticize its reliance on made-up jargon and pay-to-win dlc that grants hints mid-game. The story is the first in a planned series and ends on a cliffhanger, which some find frustrating.
