A great game in the vein of The Case/Rise of the Golden Idol and Return of the Obra Dinn. If you liked those games and how you had to turn evidence into a narrative, pick up this game. Unequivocal recommendation.

Fantastic game. Like how there is a story to make the cleaning more interesting. My only complaint is it needs more levels (there are currently 9 or 10 that get harder through the game) but the devs have said they will add more so I hope they continue to put out more content.

[Checked "free" box as a friend gifted this to me]

This game is really fun. Great art style, sucks you into the story (even if it seems low stakes at first), fully voiced, puzzles that are satisfyingly difficult, and interesting fill in the blank solution system. I was even invested in the side relationships between the characters by the end. A great little detective game.

you do farming, mining, fighting monsters, and building relationships with the townspeople. the game has a nice pixel art style and is very wholesome. you could easily lose a lot of time playing this game.

it's free, do it

edit: I have now played over 1k hours of this game and i genuinely think it might have changed my life (in a good way). the lore is great the gameplay is great shoutout bungie

this game is addictive. I've played for 20 minutes because I haven't had time to play more.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is this game good though

Edit [11/22/18]: yes it is good

This is a good game. If you like city-building games, this sh*t's the essential, the masterclass in that genre. Would recommend, it's a little difficult to understand at first but it gets good.

This game is really good. Well made, well put-together story, well soundtrack'd, and just a really phenomenal game. Buy at current price or on sale, def worth the money.

Preordered this back in June. Got it, been having an absolute blast exploring space. The game is so pretty and has a great soundtrack too.

A small warning, there is a small subset of people that like this game, and if you aren't one of those people, then this probably isn't for you. If you're having trouble running it, close everything on your computer but Steam and NMS.

This game will probably get a lot of sales from the key demographic of people who preordered the game forever ago and found out they didn't like it because it was "repetitive" then ended up playing it for more than 2 hours and now can't get a Steam refund. Congrats, you played yourself.

Would recommend tho.

Edit [12/7/16]: Foundation Update makes it much better. Wow, such great new features that were expected in the original. If you've been holding off, hold off a little less.

I first remembered that this game existed after watching some Mirror's Edge Catalyst on Youtube. I looked it up on Steam and got it for 10 bucks. Surprisingly fun. Game is a blast, graphics are great for being from 2007-08, good fun parkour times. There is an FPS aspect to this game, which doesn't help the game at all since you don't really *need* to fight anyone, but the game is still worth it.
