A definitely interesting concept for a game, ~40 minutes for a full playthrough. The base idea of it carries most of it, with some mechanically clever ways to handle story points.
For some choices, esp. in the prequel chapter I was definitely not sure on how my choice would be affecting the outcome of the story, I inadvertently got the all wrong choices achievement. However, that does not harm my experience, since that is not why I would play such a game.
Worth the time and price.

Feels like I'm still learning this game, but it is an interesting attempt to model football as a turn based game, with RPG-like skill trees, specialisiations, etc.
Think of Xcom meets football.

A super interesting world, with fresh ideas for its combat system, this was a great experience. Writing was spot on as well, so was the music. Try this game out, and it'll definitely leave an imprint on you.

A super interesting, sober, calm, desolate game, that immerses you in a hot, dry, hostile world, and introduces just enough story and narrative to hook you and keep you interested.
Love the game length, the permadeath is kind of hardcore, but I have to say I did go back multiple times, to actually experience the game's ending, and do not regret it at all!
Love the minimalist narrative here.

A game where you look at the starts to provide answers to villagers that come to you for advice. It explores that sort of faith in something or someone, and how people might receive an ambiguoys response. The game also explores community in an interesting way.

I would love to play a sequel to this game, where the lessons learned can be applied for an even more focused, and maybe a bit more rich in mechanics, experience.

This is super interesting game, experimental in an approachable way. It might not be for everyone, but it is worth a short while to see how it makes you feel. If it clicks, it clicks hard.

Given how much is stuffed and thought provoking in its short-time, this is highly recommended!

An amazing game. A political simulator, with choose your own adventure style gameplay. There is a complexity in all the choices you are making as the leader of this imaginary country. There is hope but there are budget limits, external and internal conflicts, economic downturns and so much more.
You can and should absolutely play through this multiple times, roleplay as anything you put your mind too, and see how these beautiful characters react, how the country reacts, what problems pop up, etc.
Buy and play this!

A small, fun visual novel based on tabletop RPGs. You are playing a character joining a DND campaign. The game is full of banter between the characters, both the "table" characters, as well as their "player characters", has a lot of references that anyone with DND experience will chuckle at. The game is pretty successful at parodying the whole tabletop RPG-playing experience, for sure, and is a great experience overall.

Price is very low, Steam deck experience 100% great!

I also appreciate the greek translation. Keep it up!

Awesome top-down action in strategic outbursts of violence. First game that made me realize how graphics don't have to be the best available for a game to be an enjoying experience. Story is amazing and every info you get makes you want to find out what the hell is happening even more. Achievements and secrets help with its replayability. Worth your money!
