Best game ever love committing war crimes daily. Drowning sims in the pool was just a training for this masterpiece :*
You will enjoy it way more if you actually like reading objects history and descriptions and making histories on your head. One has to be a bit dearranged to fully enjoy this game I think, but that is not …

As a roleplayer, something I really, really like about this game is how the story just writes itself with some points of beautiful unintended narrative cohesion.

As a roleplayer, something I really, really like about this game is how the story just writes itself with some points of beautiful unintended narrative cohesion.
Two of my colonists, Crystal, the social expert of the colony, and Barret, the medic, had just happily married after quite a long time of lovers. Their colony was not the greatest home ever, falling apart at the seams, always dangerously low in food and wood, but they had each other and they were happy. Even with sort of a tense mood in the colony, with one of them in the middle of a mental break and refusing to get out of her room while everybody else were having fun, it was a nice moment of quiet and calm.
They got to enjoy their honeymoon and then everything went to shit.
A raid attacked the very next morning. Only three people with shotguns. Outnumbered, but uncaring.
The defenses failed. The attackers managed to bypass the barricades and sandbags and hit hard.
Two of the five colonists were gravely hurt, only surviving by Barret stopping fighting and dragging them to bed to tend their wounds. Another, still locked down on her room and not having joined the fight, would later recover and get out just to see the colony having fallen to hell. A guest staying for a few days on the colony was kidnapped by the retreating attackers and later killed.
Crystal died. She managed to take down one of the raiders, fighting among her slowly bleeding friends before getting shot down herself. She died in the spot, without even a chance to being tended and cared like they were. She rests on a beautiful sarcophagus now, built by her grieving husband. With three quarters of the colony too hurt to fight, barely any food, and no medicine left, he may join her soon.
I had no direct input on any of the above, except for drafting and undrafting in battle. Everything was the game building an story via random events, and I love it.

Gonna give this a wait til it's out of Early Access. Plenty of content in it now however.

I've been having game after game after game of this, never once getting bored. I haven't been this addicted to a game since The Sims.
