A 50 minute QL of a game I have never heard of? That sounds promising.

As soon as I saw the menus I thought of Of Orcs and Men... and guess what, same developer. Looks like it's pretty much the same game with a new skin and story.

50 minutes of Jeff and Vinny with an immediate David Bowie reference. My body is ready.

EDIT: Oh man. This voice acting and dialogue. I'm fucking dying here.

The combat in this kind of reminds of the Witcher 2.

Actually this whole game looks like the Witcher 2 in really obvious ways.

I'm digging the grimy feel of this game. Had I an acceptable PC to run this on, I believe I'd give it a buy.

I played a fair share of this game ... it has some very rough edges (especially the voice acting), but this is the perfect example of a decent B-Tier game. For it's price its fine and fun enough to play. This is the kind of game we lost with all those AAA titles from big publishers. Imagine it as a B-Tier Witcher 2.

This reminds me of those old PS2 mid-budget games that they don't make anymore. Good thing there's still a place for them.

This actually looks really fun. It looks like a B-tier imitation of some of the older Bioware games like KOTOR and Jade Empire. The voice acting is pretty "great" and the world looks pretty interesting for the most part. I do think it's kind of funny they're supposed to be in a P.O.W. camp though because they seem to have a fair amount of freedom for something like that. Most lenient P.O.W. camp I've seen.

The sign pointed to the right. Immediately to their right, there was a door, so they went through the door. Seems pretty self-explanatory to me.

This game reminds me a ton of the original Witcher. Anyone else get that vibe?

Shit, this game looks bad, but shit, in kindof a fun Deadly Premonition sort of way, and shit, I think I might buy this on an eventual shit sale. I mean steam sale. Shit.

You may be on Mars but that doesn't mean that dogs turn into alien hybrid creatures. Evolution doesn't work that way. What even is this weird ass game.

I give the developer points for trying, but their ambition seems to have fallen short of the goal. The dialogue is trying WAY too hard to be gritty and dark, and flat lines readings are not helping things.

Spiders are learning! if they can make a low budget Sci-Fi RPG then soon there will be no stopping them!

I could see myself getting this game when it's only 5 bucks during a Steam sale.

A little bit disappointed that this didn't turn out to be about extra-terrestrial lumberjack conflicts, but the actual game made up for that pretty quickly!
