This is incredible! Honestly I had more fun with this than Death Stranding.
It took me a while to get the hang of it, but eventually I was able to win with 5/5 settlements alive.
There's an excellent balance between gameplay elements. Often I lost due to dropping inventory off too soon instead of taking it to a further way town in more need. On my second last game I lost due to misjudging a cloud and dying to acid rain.
I would totally believe this was some lost shareware masterpiece from the '90s.
