About Seasteader
Set on the wide open ocean, Seasteader is a city building and management strategy game that allows you to develop and rule over your own seastead, a floating community.
Your aim is to create a prosperous and thriving society, using your production and manufacturing capabilities to create goods and sell them on the global market. The profits can then be invested back into improving the lives of your seasteaders or increasing your industrial capacity.
The most important resource, however, is not a product, but your seasteaders themselves. As well as paying them wages and taking (or not taking) money from them for rent and food, you also need to ensure their happiness, as measured by 8 separate metrics. Each individual also has unique skills that make them better suited to some jobs over others.
In the end, the degree to which you wish to micromanage the game or let it run its own course is entirely up to you. There are no right or wrong ways of playing.

Bought this game on Release as a promising Early Access title. Sadly the devs abandoned this game and it's just the hull of what it could be2 found this helpful
Game feels like a prototype with loads of potential. Such a shame they didn't turn it into a quality game. The only reason i'm giving it a thumbs up is to convince the dev it's worth working on this game.1 found this helpful
Game is fun but performance really tanks over time and I would rather have been able to build freely instead of having to make tightly packed steads to ensure investors couldnt attack
wow i honestly cant believe that these guys had the nerve to sell this piece of garbage for 30 bones. it really is sickening i waitied until this game was on sale for 4 bucks and id have to say its not even worth that just a cluncky mess of a game. dont even waste your money or time on this game your better of playing tropico
TL:DR: buy Banished. I bought it at less than $2usd during a sale, yet still think it is not worth your time. I am currently stuck at chapter 7, my factories are not producing any beers or bourbon even when there are stocks of glass and corn / hops in them. You can't see the production progress, there is no smoke coming from the factory chimneys to signal things are in production (as compared to no works ongoing due to lack of workers or resources). Market is confusing as there are too many numbers and buttons. I still don't understand the lock, percentage, cost for domestic and business use. As mentioned by others, the only animation is the people walking in single file between buildings. Really can't see anything going on. Not interactive and a waste of time.
clearly abandoned another one that had promise dont bother
