    Now that I've played this game for over 40 hrs since launch and show no sign of stopping, I think it's about time I finally recommend this game. Genuinely, truly one of the most exciting games I have had the privilege of playing. If you enjoy: 1) Mechanically unique games 2) Incredibly thematic games 3) Customizable games 4) Games which actually, truly have a multitude of pathways to win -- you will love this game,…

    Very much digging this. Cool setting and very interesting mechanics. Not a casual game--every decision counts.

    The theme is great, but the execution is clumsy. Gathering food becomes kind of trivial pretty fast, the AI is garbage, the world is small, and the actual gameplay elements you have are very limited. There's a skeleton of something interesting here, but it's far from realized. Check back in 2 years.
