alright, early early access isnt my cup of tea but it looks interesting.

i would love more info about the developer. couldnt fucking find anything. no website, not even info on where they are based ?

judging by the lack of information and the interesting phrasing of the "about this game" text, i assume its a solo chinese dev?

That's what I assumed too. A solo dev isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially if the core of the game is well fleshed out and they have unique ideas.

yes its not necessarily a bad thing indeed

yet the lack of transparency is a little red flag for me

the potentially bad translation might impact gameplay as well. but thats an easy fix within early access im sure

im waiting for reviews 🙈
