Aug. 2024

While enjoyable and largely 'finished', it's a shame the game has been left in this state - it has so much potential for story telling (Rimworld style) but most of that capacity is unrealized even after all this time. Still, it's a fun romp if you are psychopathic-minded and would enjoy ruining the lives of innocent villagers. Getting to 100% achievements was quite a slog (and then they added even more!).

June 2024

The game is very fun, but its clearly not finished yet. It needs more variety. On enemies, more challenges, more necromancy (personal favorite xD)

June 2024

MIXED REVIEW: It is pretty decent, but underbaked and overpriced. Wait for a sale, and consider whether or not you like this niche genre of game.

May 2024

I love this game! The concept is so fun and the options to just fuck with little peasants and elves is great! I have literally spent hours just being a rumor and gossip monger and ITS AMAZING! Not to mention I can start my own plague? and unleash the zombie apocalypse? Literally so much stuff to do in this gem of a purchase.

May 2024

good game about being the evil itself but I find the game to only have about 1h of play time before you see it hope they add more event, building ,mechanic ect... in the future great idea but its half bake
