00s have walked in and slapped me in the face with this

Also the demo is good and it gives you PLENTY of stuff to play around with and get a feel for the game

It's basically a less in-depth DF but with much, much more visual polish. Hell, it has shadows and normal maps for all your top down stuff to get lit up by the campfire and such.

Building is mostly "designate areas, put a bit of furniture inside". You can select the generic "wood", "stone" and so, but there's no real details as to what these are. Like it's just stone, just wood. No in-depth material system. Mentioning it as a comparison to other games, it feels fine within it

Also has multiple playable races! Right out of the box, and pretty different ones. Heck, the tutorial doesn't even start with humans.
