Kinda got a bad ending on this game, I think, and I think I'm ready to put this game down. Not permanently, mind.
It's a very unique experience, this game. I often felt like there were no real stakes, like I could fail any mission and the story would move on. It makes the world feel more immersive and less gamey. The world of Dorisburg is something of a life simulator.
That said, because nothing feels mandatory it's hard to feel like you are having an affect on the game aside from your own mastery of the game's in-world coding language. I felt the most empowered when I mastered programming techniques. The story elements were pretty flat.
I will likely return to this game to see if there's more I can unlock. It's a curious toy and I want to see what else I can make it do.
