WHY I WANT IT

Who doesn't love a well-made simulator game?

The great thing about this one in particular is that it was funded by Kickstarter -- and it's rare that those fall through (though they can and have).

The aspect about this survival game that intrigues me most is that you're not just surviving and managing your resources -- you're playing a diplomacy game of keeping people from differing social backgrounds from turning on each other in a very dire situation.

On top of that, the historical setting (right after the October Revolution) adds another layer of interest to the game, as well as more tension to the diplomacy game. Oh yes, and the four characters you start with in your camp (out of 9 possible characters) will be different every time.

This means the game has a high replay value, a ton of interesting and unique objectives to manage, and was clearly crafted with great care to blow their Kickstarter goal out of the water -- AND release the game on more platforms than planned (it's even on the Nintendo Switch!).

Yes, please.


If that isn't enough to pique your interest, then this probably isn't your genre -- and that's okay! Check back next week for another title and let me know what you think of my selection!
