Great, our cyberpunk dystopia is also an urban fantasy where we confound the soulless Fae with poems and riddles.

I know David Sirlin has written on this a couple of times. This is my favorite design piece on why that is a good thing!

Very glad I took the “two tries” upgrade disk. That way I can try based on vibes the first time, and then solve between the remaining two if I have to.

Completely agree on realism. I do think the game could be more FUN with some “survival” features though. In particular, a lot of the afflictions and hazards seem heavily defanged, and addiction is a joke.
But in no way should they aim for the boring realities of space travel.

Yeah, unfortunately nothing else climactic happens for another 60 chapters or so. And Arlong Park only ends at 90. So they will need a full season 2 to really go any further.

VaatiVidya’s “Comprehension Beginner’s Guide” does a good job of breaking down the mechanics and strategy of building. Might be helpful!

It’s a lot of fun! I like to crank the number of recipes and ingredients way up and turn the shrinking down, just to run around mixing stuff.

The game Size Matters has you die if you don’t craft the final recipe in time, and the recipes are random each game.
However, you do start with multiple ingredients, not just one, and every needed recipe is somewhere in the level.
So, might be a useful starting point if you want to explore this!
