How it feels
A slow-burning, narrative-heavy experience where moral choices unfold in a tense, colonial-era setting, focusing on dialogue and observation rather than action.

What players say
Players praise the story, characters, and voice acting but warn the game is incomplete and ends on a cliffhanger, with no updates since 2021. Many criticize the lack of a manual save option. Players are split on whether it is worth buying in its unfinished state.
