Beautiful game. I was never able to get into Frostpunk or This War of Mine, but they nailed the tension this time without going overboard and everything just feels good to do. You can feel them trying things, like the song scene, on top of the game systems I figure they've nailed down by now.
For the AI concerns, sorry but AI is coming and everybody's going to use it. It's like any new technology, people will hate it and then a generation from now everybody is using it without a word. Personally, I don't care, make a good game and I will play it."
