Marry a Deep One: Innsmouth Simulator

Played for over 5 hours - loved everything about the setting and play mechanisms, right down to the excessively detailed tracking of personal relationship stats between everyone and every[i]thing[/i]. I was positively delighted by the scroll discovery and spell creation mechanisms. The top-tier example was crafting a spell to make everyone in a whole household trust me more when I insulted one of them! "Yup, he's a doofus - we all know that, and clearly Mr. Marsh coming over here to insult our uncle shows that he's a trustable, perspicacious individual. Even Uncle Doofus agrees!" [i]Perfection![/i] Alas, what killed it for me were the bugs. Large percentages of what should have been successful task completions being completely ignored as if the requirement hadn't been met is Not Okay - not when failing the tasks have major consequences. Seems like the developer may have just stopped caring about fixing bugs in the game, since there's been radio silence from them in the forums in the last long while. I desperately [i]want[/i] to be able to recommend this game, but simply cannot in good conscience. Edit: Tried again and got further and found even [i]more, worse[/i] bugs: Ended u…

Edit: The developer has been silent long enough, that i can no longer, in good faith, recommend purchasing this. I stand by what i said about it being an interesting and novel experience. This game has some very serious bugs preventing the player from enjoying the full experience, many task will not register completion, and some characters will walk off screen near-infinitely making reaching them take extreme amounts of in game time. The bugs I experienced are more inconveniences than game breaking but they are major inconveniences. Ultimately I'm giving this game a recommended because it has 2 qualities that I find to be rare when looking for a game, it is novel and interesting. That might not mean much to some, but I often find that even when a game is only good and/or fun, I ultimately know I will forget it, and it will fade into the mass of other uncountable games available. I did not feel that way with this game, despite it flaws I will remember it for a long while. If the developer ever fixes the remaining bugs this could be a genuinely amazing game, whether they will return is another matter, though I hope they will.

Abandoned game left in a buggy state.

it is buggy, and it dose not seem like there are any future bug fixes coming. cant recommend this game to any one until more action is taken. Otherwise i think it is an entering game.

Great concept and design but catastrophically buggy and has seemingly been abandoned. Prepare for run ending bugs or don't bother.

I want to like this game, but objectives are unachievable due to the game being abandoned. Its a very interesting atmosphere and premise. However, I can't recommend it until the developer decides to patch very egregious bugs.
