Dubious Quality

The most direct comparison I can make is that it's a gentle version of Don't Starve. It shares many of the mechanics, but is far less difficult. You're a mouse trying to restore a burrow that was formerly used by your parents.

It's charming in every conceivable way, from the graphics and sound to multiple designer touchers (leaving tracks in the snow, warming up more quickly if you stand in front of the fire, etc.). The design is careful and precise. I entirely lost myself playing the demo, and time piled up much more quickly than I realized.

It's coming out in November, and it will be a day one purchase for me.

I dipped into the forums to check on one question I had, and that's when it got ugly. Gamergate idiots screaming about the game being "woke." Seriously, a game about a mouse. They're like happiness cancer, these assholes.

Social media, no matter what else you can say about it, has groomed an entire generation of young men into being absolute pricks. They've caused serious harm to this country, not just our hobby, and I don't know who can stop them, or how. 

I hope we figure it out, though, and soon.
