Jan. 2025
This is a very fun game for about 12 hours of playtime. I have played through it several times, and usually restart after I get all the supply chains set up. I love the relaxed play style. There is a risk of bankruptcy, especially early in the game, and this makes careful planning more important. If there's one thing I wish were different, it's that I wish there were a way to mod the game. I want more. I want bigger, more complex supply chains. I want more quests. I want the risk of bankruptcy to continue throughout the game, so that balancing the cost and income of different supply chains feels important in late game play.

Merchant sim where you buy low and sell high. Regions will always have the same preferences so it quickly a becomes monotonous thing, good to play while listening to a video essay.
