    Happy that all 83 people who bought the game on Steam will be able to talk only positively about the game or risk being banned due to a comment being mistaken for criticism 👍

    Definitely didn’t see this coming /s

    Shame the game wasn’t better. I wanted to like it, the voice acting was solid, but ultimately the combat was unpolished and feels like a early PS2 game.

    I hate to say it but I feel like the devs are gonna blame the anti-woke backlash, and while that is obviously a factor, the game simply isn’t that great. Needed some more time in the oven IMO, there is the soul of a good game in here.

      Not in the EU (anymore, thanks tories), but I think it’s fine for small indie studios to get funding through government programs, though obviously it hasn’t turned out well in this case.

    https://hackertalks.com/post/4156518 my full review of the game

    Dust born is pretty good, for a visual novel. They knew they were going for a super niche market segment. Their previous games have the same “reach”. They have no room to complain, at least people hating on the game are actually talking about the game.
