Runs fine solo — just forgets to save sometimes.

About this game
A rare open world where the planning phase is the most fun part. Many note the tutorial (research) is too polished, delaying the main campaign — but once immersed, a surprising finishing drive kicks in.
Key features
- 🎒 Overstuffed Inventory — hoards tabs, references, and ideas you "might use someday." Actual use rate: ~5%.
- 🌙 Night Performance Boost — long load times by day, then the frame rate leaps after 11 p.m.
- 🔁 No Autosave — starts great resolutions often, but skips saving (habit-forming), a chronic bug that resets progress by day three.
User reviews
★★★★☆ "Great once it starts — but the start button feels like paid DLC." (12,000 hrs played) ★★★★★ "The vibe is genuinely great. The looping BGM (self-talk) is weirdly addictive." ★★★☆☆ "A game you only get after seeing the ending, but it keeps forgetting to save — minus one star."
System requirements
- Deadline imminent: peak performance (recommended)
- Leisurely afternoon: frequent frame drops
- Required: a 25-min timer, a glass of water, the line "just this one thing" disabled
Coming soon
Next patch experimentally adds Autosave (building small habits). The finishing drive is already there; make the start a little lighter and this has game-of-the-year potential.
