  This right here. This article title. This is why you don’t name your company “Nothing”.

  They took the genre and distilled it down to the purest gameplay-focused form that they could. And for an Early Access title, it could absolutely be a full release today. No bugs, no performance issues, nothing feels missing or incomplete, except maybe a few minor QoL bits. The success is deserved.

  Let’s say it’s a cipher, but with a twist.

  It sure sounds like you would like it. I will say that for me, everything about the game is fantastic, except for the combat, which is kinda terrible. Especially the boss fights. Feels to me like they’re trying to mimic a souls-like style, but really really overshot on difficulty.

  Basically, I say go for it, but don’t hesitate to drop the difficulty settings, if you’re like me.

  Also, get yourself a physical notepad.

  Also, also, don’t feel bad about having to look up some stuff for the really late/post-game puzzles. One thing they toom WELL from Dark Souls is the idea of puzzles that are really made to be solved by the collective wisdom of the community, not just you.

  Also, also, also, don’t disregard the language puzzle, completely. I did, and when I looked it up later, I wish I hadn’t I wish I’d at least have given it a shot, for myself.

  Good luck!

  I adore posts like these (the Factorio blog one, that is), that go into low level detail.

  The most recent annual report, for 2022, showed the charity made almost $4m that year, while its expenses were just under $4.2m.

  A $200k budget shortfall with $4m revenue is not a “we’re insolvent” situation, it’s a “we need to cut $200k worth of events and other expenses” situation. I wonder what the full story is here?

  Interesting concept, but ultimately a mid experience. Not entirely sure why, but the ending being a significant non-sequitur was part of it.
