About As We Know It

When the world gets too hot humanity finds sanctuary underground. After a
long waiting list you finally score a spot in the local underground
city of Camden, run by Mayor Rick Davidson. You and your mother move in
and begin to acclimate to this wonderful new life. As time passes,
however, things start to go wrong. Unravel what’s going on, and face
some hard choices that will impact your relationships and fate.
Get a job, find romance, and meet the other residents of Camden- your new home.
Play as Ashlynn Phillips.
Ashlynn is suspicious, but desperate to make this new life work. Her life on
the surface was hard. She spent most of it fighting for everything and
going without. Now she's safe. Her mother is safe. They have food,
water, and shelter. Nothing will get in the way of that ever again, if
she has anything to say about it.

Features:
- Customize your name and appearance (different skin tones and hair colors).
- 4 career options with independent story lines.
- 4 potential love interests that you can befriend or romance.
- 3 potential friends and several people to interact with.
- Branching paths from day one, making each play through unique. Every path promises different sides of the story, encouraging replay!
- Spend time with any- and everyone, no matter who you romance, or which job you pick.
- 30 unique endings.
- over 135,000 words total

Romance options:
Micah Everett
A perfectionist with an eloquent way of speaking, and a quiet voice. Insecure from a previous relationship which causes him to appear distant at first. Tries to throw himself into work as much as possible, and as the community’s lead doctor no one tries to stop him
Jude Myers
You can usually find him at the bar with Sam, the closest thing to family he has left. Or in the greenhouse tending to the plants with loud grunge music from the 1990s shaking the walls. If you see him with any tech, you should probably assume it’s contraband and say nothing
Gloria Miller
The sweet Community Affairs Supervisor who wants to keep everyone's spirits up in these dark times. Born in Camden she isn't fully aware of the harsh realities of the surface. Bored of living underground she wants to either shake things up or escape.
Eva Turner
An overly friendly security officer full of charm, and a sad smile. She'll tackle criminals all day, and then sweep you into her arms and sing karaoke with you all night. Or she’ll challenge you to a race, then feel bad that she didn’t let you win.
Welcome to Camden!

An underground utopia with fresh food, filtered air, and the coldest
water you’ll ever taste. Enjoy your spacious living quarters with enough
room for the whole family! We have all the amenities you could ever
dream of: a gym for your fitness, a library for your mind, and a bar for
socializing. Our community center is a hub of activity. Stop by in the
mornings for complimentary coffee and a friendly chat with your
neighbors. All events and meetings are held there as well!
Our massive space is taken up mostly by an impressive collection of
greenhouses that provide a wealth of resources for Camden. From clothing
to medicine, if we can grow it then it’s here. Never worry about fatal
power outages again. We use an advanced Geothermal energy system that is
as safe as it is efficient. Our impressive security and medical
departments keep us safe and healthy.
Camden welcomes you to your new, better life.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
As We Know It is not the game I hoped it was going to be. The reviews give the impression that this is a story-based VN, but it isn't, it's a dating sim. There is almost no story at all in the game. As We Know It starts with you moving into a creepy vault run by an isolationist dictator that your mother inexplicably instantly falls in love with. Every day you wake up, go to your mandatory work duty, and - instead of going home after work - you are forced to choose between reading at the library, jogging at the gym or drinking at the bar (doesn't matter if you picked water as your drink of choice, incidentally, your character is written as if they got drunk anyway). This continues day after day after day and then the game ends. There are a couple of events that occur that the various characters (barely) react to, but nothing ever feels like it has any stakes until the very last day when you die. (Or, at least, in my playthrough I died.) I don't mind a tragic ending, but it doesn't count for much if there was no depth of narrative to give it weight. And in this game there isn't. Everybody is one-dimensional and boring. You get railroaded into a relationship even if you didn't flirt…4 found this helpful
So this is where I hate the steam rating of yes or no. Was this a terrible "VN". No, not at all. But I would argue there are free ones out there that have richer story and characters. I feel like this is an interesting concept, but it just didn't go far enough. Most of the time you are either same old same old in the background of your job art or the library, bar or gym or living quarters. The art is very static for the most part. Even when the characters are describing rooms they don't match with the art. Which is fine, but it makes it somewhat less immersive. I've only played a few different routes for one romantic interest so perhaps there will be more variety later. I feel like there are many things that are missed opportunities example a character finds out you miss the stars and is like remind me to show you something sometime and then nothing ever comes of that. I just wish there would've been more development in the characters and in the world building. Not a bad game, but for the price point I did expect more.1 found this helpful
hoynwey :3
Buy on sale? I enjoyed this but it's pretty linear. Cool world-building and characters, but not a ton of replayability.
Really wished I could have romanced my bestie Sam.
