How it feels
A down-to-earth simulation of the stressful, solitary grind of indie game development with tight resource management.

What players say
Players widely report the game feels abandoned, with the developer moving on to a new project while this one remains unfinished. The early game is a tedious grind of freelance work to pay rapidly rising rent, and the whole experience is described as shallow, short, and repetitive.
