What players say
This is a more resource management puzzle/strategy game than anything else. It has a great narrative especially with the DLC. The game is difficult and challenges you to discover each chapter's mechanics to optimise resources. Even so it's pretty well balanced, challenging but fun. The steam reviews definitely don't do the game justice. I feel like the game hasn't been properly marketed and hasn't reached the proper...
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Even with the cheesy narrative, uninspired aesthetic and primitive mechanics, the complexity of problem-solving in-game makes the experience very engaging. I just recommend that you choose "Puzzle Mode" when starting a save, since the luck factor in some contexts and actions can be frustrating, as makes success impossible. Ps: game won't consider who lived or died on completed levels for script matters.
I don't really get this game. It's a resource/time management game disguised as a "puzzle" game, but the puzzle is that you need to know the solution/patterns ahead of time to survive.
