How it feels

A bleak, atmospheric dieselpunk RPG where you explore a decaying space station, carefully crafting and fighting to survive a brutal, lore-heavy world.

What players say

Players praise the original diesel-punk world and deep atmosphere, but nearly every review warns of persistent bugs, missing features like quicksave, and resource systems that punish exploration. Combat is passable, but janky controls and obscure quest design frustrate many. The community patch is considered essential.
