The best part about the writing in this game is what you don't say. Why do I need a device to detect the temperature of the mist? What's going on with the mist?! But now that there's a device that can tell me the temperature, that makes me think I really want to know it.
This game is really slow though. I know that's par for the course in idle games, but in a Jam setting I have other games to play so stretching out the runtime isn't a good thing unless you have enough content to back it up. I stopped playing around when I got three turbines and a scrap extruder because I had no idea what they did and did not know how to move forward. I thought maybe they generated Power for me (whatever that does), but my power started to go down after I bought another generator.
Really unique environment and setting that does a lot with very little. But the gameplay didn't spice things up enough for me.
