Looks intriguing. Price seems a bit higher than I would like to pay for a game like this. Any thoughts from someone who has played?

 

I am also deeply interested in this game. From what I have read and seen, they have some interesting mechanics down, and they have a great framework. There just isn't much content at the moment (as in stuff to do, not just stuff).

One writer for RPS put it best; he said he enjoyed the game but wished he hadn't played it yet, since he feels like he might be less inclined to try it again in the future, despite being so intrigued.
