Neat idea, neat pixel art.

Unfortunately it has issues, ranging from minor (screen tearing when you scroll - someone tried to make their own pixel game engine and wasn't ready for that, perhaps?), to not so minor - like NPCs getting softlocked/stuck despite their destination being ready/operational.

And then it has issues at the design level too. It feels a bit schizophrenic in how it combined ideas. Ok, so it has a "Papers Please" style minigame... but then the "station management" side of the game has too little to do if you automate the passport checking (which I do - not my thing).

In particular I've run into a bottleneck where I can't produce enough batteries to run my amenities and machinery because I can't build more generators - it's not clear when this unlocks, and research is very slow as it's gated by resources you don't get much of.

And it has Stardew Valley-style day ending that... seems to serve no particular purpose? You just push next day and everything and everyone is exactly where they were before. New reports could have been a prompt just like incoming NPC calls. NPCs do not have daily schedules like Stardew. So it just seems pointless. Small thing? Kind of, but it sets the tone for much else too.

I do feel that there's the foundation of a pretty decent game here. If it'd just been given more time in the oven. But it seem sthe devs have largely finished and moved on, so.
