I played it quite a bit a few years ago and still have fond memories of it, but I'll say, I had more fun watching others play than playing it myself, and at some point it kinda just became me borderline doing eugenics to survive the harsher climates

Cute idea, but didn't really give me much reason to keep playing.

Maybe I'm stupid! I don't know! But the tutorial is not very good and the transition to 'okay now go play the game' is incredibly unforgiving! Which sucks, because I did want to enjoy this.
