“What's here is very cool and impressive for a solo developer. Unfortunately the reality is that the game is approaching 10 years since releasing on steam and it still has only a few hours of content. It likely will never be finished…”
“Early Access and no updates for almost two years - abandoned? I’m done with Early Access games! Never again!”
