How it feels

A gritty, tense sandbox where you balance military command with preserving civilian life under occupation.

What players say

Players agree the game has a solid foundation but call it abandoned or a demo, with little progress despite years in early access. A few note the solo developer had health issues, and a recent small update gave some hope, but most say it remains too buggy and unpolished to recommend.
