By Turn-Based Tactics January 2, 2020

“A charming game of trade, upgrade and progress, like a rural take on Elite. Sadly, the unclear randomness of events/combat make it unexciting. Possibly better as a mobile game than a PC experience.”

“The writing is delightful: although the game clearly isn’t written as pure comedy, it consistently widened my ghostly smile”
