Really enjoyed what admittedly little was available here! Much darker in tone compared to Adastra mostly thanks to a far more distinctly defined protagonist here. Unlike Adastra which made you self-insert yourself into the story, Scipio has his own history and personality that makes for a much more interesting read. Also extra props to the genuinely fantastic OST from Anthemics which you really should give a listen to even if you don't actually play this game; Aquatic and Yearning are my personal favorites. Knowing that they're working on the soundtrack for Arches only increases my excitement for that title after hearing their work in this.

Khemia is also extremely unfinished and has been on hold for over a year at this point, but there's been really recent news that this is going back in development since Arches is nearly finished at time of writing this. Very intrigued on where this will go in the future and will be keeping a close eye on it.
