Ngl, this is one of the most unique puzzle games i've played. The regular gameplay is pretty headscratching at times, which i appreciate. The intermissions between chapters are a bit simple but I appreciate how they link back to the game's story. Which btw, the story is very nice and I really liked the main cast and the little interactive comics they used. Overall, i think its a nice puzzle-strategy game. PD: I have encountered a few bugs and crashes here and there, but the devs were very quick to patch it up, and I really appreciate that!

Sadly, although I loved the premise and I think how the story is told is awesome, I could not really like the gameplay. Maybe it is because it is sold as a "Simulation and Strategy" game, when in reality is a puzzle game (well all games are puzzles in the bottom, but this one in particular xD) The base idea is to balance resource outputs/inputs according to specific requests or quests in the game. And thats all. I could get behind the idea, but I felt really forced to use certain strategies that were gimmicky only to succeed in missions, with no real purpose other than achieving X amount of Y resource as fast as possible. I saw myself speeding up the game as fast as possible to achieve the amounts of resources requested, and was just basically watching the numbers go up or down, with no need to improve or refine my design, as it would break the balance. But having big numbers for these requests, meant waiting long time for they to be fulfilled just because the numbers were big, not because there was an actual challenge to it. So yeah, I really like most of the game, but the thing that should make "click" with me isn't there and some UI and design choices don't make the experience e…

At first, I struggled to understand the game mechanics, and personally, I found level 2 quite challenging. But once I got the hang of it, everything became much easier. It’s a very interesting game where you need to manage all the tools and carefully calculate how raising or lowering something affects the outcome. This game is perfect for people who enjoy thinking and analyzing a bit. I love the visual aspect; the combination of styles is excellent. A very good game, highly recommended!

I'm really enjoying Soot! Interesting story, amazing illustrations and a great variety of stuff to build and manage.

After finishing the first chapter I have to say this is one of the games that have hooked me the most. The comic and steampunk style is lovely and the variety in gameplay avoids a boring repetitive game. Is pretty challenging on some scenarios but not every single level feels impossible. Regarding bugs and errors, most of what I've found are just grammar or wording mistakes, some repeated words but that's it. Some times, clicking a structure doesn't pop up anything until a second or third click but I think it's a "me" problem missing the pointer. Some recomendations: Explain in the first levels that right click will pop up a quick menu... Everything would have been so much easier! Some text or maybe a name for each action in the quick pop up would also help. Also, the letter z on the encrypted messages never decrypt, I would love to be able to read the full decrypted text but the character stays on screen covering half of the book and the rest is still full of Zs everywhere. The skybox looks weird, maybe a particle based solution instead of a rotating skybox would make the outer space look more realistic, there could be a toggeable option for that in case it drops player's FPS …
