Looks really cute. Wishlisted. Will check out the kickstarter when it launches. My only concern is the “end game.” Is there a story? Does that story conclude? A lot of times games like these just sort of.. end when you get bored. That’s not very satisfying.

Currently the ultra cute ocean junk city survival game Flotsam has been in EA for like 4 or 5 years and has no end game. You build your base as big as you want or optimize to the maximum possible potential…. And then just keep going or close the game because that’s all you can do.

I love the option to be able to continue playing after a main story, but there needs to be some sort of narrative conclusion. 🤞

Looks really cute. Hopefully you don't have to murder your girlfriend after you get sick of her and the arguments.

What time is it?
I'm usually not into these types of games but I'll give this a whirl as the whole van life craze fascinates me to no end.
