In fairness, the "Persistent Universe" stuff they have going right now can be pretty fun with friends, and the jank is kind of novel for a while. I tried to deliver a box and got a concussion trying to figure out how to get a drink on my journey.
Without friends or a tolerance for jankiness though, it's pretty hard to get into. You really get the sense the devs have been figuring out what a wheel looks like the hard way, and still insisting on their own, uniquely terrible spin on things.
There was a time in something like 2016 (or 18? I dunno at this point) when they were hyping a Vertical Slice of it being just around the corner. Then they quietly cancelled that and communication on the project has been extremely thin ever since.
I eagerly await investigative journalism efforts to one day learn what's been going on behind the scenes these last few years!
