Playing online private room is not bearable. The latency delay is so significant it feels like you don't control your jelly at all.
Only makes sense on local Coop.

Cosmopoly is ugly interface clone of Monopoly with space.
Unfortunately this game has no real player base - unless you drag friends here, you pley with bots (which cannot be sped up, unless you use external party tools; even if you do, game will become stuck on throwing dices step).

UI does not scale well, I played on 1440x900 monitor ad I could not read some of fonts, e.g. in stress indicator.
"01:60" on timer is really looking off. Some elements of interface are not translated (kept in Russian).
Although it's free in current state it cannot be recommended.

It took me much longer than I wanted to explore paths...
Game had started a bit meh. Especially encyclopedia with 50-ish description, where most of them do not really matter.
However, what is charming in this game is... the balance.
You need to try to keep balance between bad and worse choices. And it's very difficult to succeed.

The graphics are not too bad, but they are not charming either.
What is charming is actually the soundtrack - possibly best part of the game.
It has nice plot and twists. Some choices are very meaningless and only fill the game... some feel meaningless, but they actually carry hidden stats with them

Overall, this topic of nuclear warfare, dictator, all-choices-seem-bad is not very common and it was well executed.
You may want to save yourself a time and actually play with guide to find endings... as it's time consuming to do alone and not very fun.
There is some replayability for couple of tries, then not really.

One of greatest samples of combination of Visual Novel and Point'n'Click games.
For currently available version (November 2024) it lasts about 6 hours of content.
Story is making you sit on edge and characters are well-written.
Music build atmosphere nicely.

The only downside is it's passion project of indie creator - because of that it suffers from slow development, as game is not source of income. I hope we can get more of this, as this content was so juicy, I could not wait to have another session of play.

This game/VN is terrible in technical standpoint - It has wrong labels, like whatever character says appears like commentary, what should be narration can be labelled as character's words.

You cannot save at all times, only certain points. You cannot press Space or Enter to progress, you cannot make choices with arrows. You have to use mouse for all.
Even then, your choice might get stuck. There are also too many meaningless options. Or why do I have to select and click only one option? That's dragging needlessly time.

While concept is fine, I got used to some standards when it comes to VN games and this one does not meet them making it chore to play.
Characters are not interesting enough. It's all about their vision of problems.
Also, there is bug, when talking with person with mask, they can appear without mask, if you had to choose person from the location, because at that day they shared it.

And there are typos.

This game is so broken... if you pause game to go back to game, you cannot. It will not "resume". You can either quit or start level from last "Save" or from over.
Poor quality - for 50 GB it takes, it has atrocious loading times and not real voice acting (everything is speech generation bots).
Subtitles were ON when I started game. During game it was off.
This dev releases trash games in short period of time... Just take time to create something actually playable and nice, please... You have potential to do that.

Small visual novel with potential vision of future.
This is kind of VN that needs multiple endings to fully grasp whole story.

It's well done, although lacks Save function, which may force you to sit a bit longer or re-apply choices. Game is not long, so it's not big impact.
Graphics are as they are, music is fine.
Couple of references to real life things are there ;)

Overall, good experience.

The "demo" that beats so many Visual Novels on head. It's chaotic, it's funny, it's ridiculuous.
Possibly most 4th wall breaking VN created up to this date, with very carefully crafted idea. It's game which uses many elements of Ren'Py engine - a little bit similar to well-known DDLC, but independent enough.

Music from Main Menu will be stuck for couple days.

The couple downsides:
- few typos
- game is extremely slow sometimes (forced pauses)

Great quality, fun minigame (although sometimes a bit frustrating).
Well written story with nicely drawn characters.
Some elements of Point and Click are present which add small layer of interaction.
Choices do not matter to much, but they serve humoristic purpose.

When I saw title, I expected some fan rip off... but no, this is truly fantastic game for ~3 hours.
