Taiwan is a sovereign state. Just for not including Taiwan as part of China, I'm all in for this game. Now the real review: The concept is interesting. You play as a North Korean defector who is trying to find your way to the South. However, I think the tutorial should explain more aspects of the game's mechanisms. I found myself struggling even with tips.2 found this helpful
i dont know why its mixed. i personally liked it and it has replay-ability too! i say investing in strength and working is your best chance at success. but everyone has their own playstyle. dont listen to the haters. its $5 for a good time. you dont have anything to lose!
North Korea is the most interesting thing in the world today... How can an indie game be so good? This is one of my favorite games of all time... I wish there was more expansive DLC. New maps? New routes?
A simple but ok game. This theme deserve a better game to show the anxious journey, and its implications, of escaping from that hellish and horrible country
No. I like the concept and genre but it's just not a good game.
good game
