Curious Expedition - The roguelike expedition simulation set in the 19th century

[Lycra Suit]

At best you will squeeze 6 hours into this game if you really try everything. But it will be boring before that. I would not recommend it looks more like an experiment to get into the industry than a real game.

Ha, funny given how hard the developers tried to make the Game appeal to the communities killscreen serves.

Truly the heart of darkness.

specializing in Victorian literature and its animal representations

Pretty much explains it.

I beat it in less than two hours on my first playthrough and got a refund.

I beat it in less than 40 minutes on the highest difficulty level ... and got a refund.

Seems this game got a free expansion ("Arctic expanse") or something?

Anything new to report?

Played demo, enjoyed. Looking forward to getting the full game for $1 on humble. Not a $15 game.

Can second that.

It is kinda sad, it is a nice little gem, an art piece, but not much of an "game".
Hard to describe it really.

I try the "demo" and I enjoy it a lot. So much that I buy it. I like that most of items are consumables.

What type of genre are such games? [like FTL, Convoy, Sunless sea]

Judging from reviews, curious expedition 2 is quite difficult even in its easiest difficulty setting. A run is also longer now, though you can choose from various options in case you die like restart curent expeditions or wipe the whole year or true permadeath. Additionally, there is a Campaign Mode, which has an overarching plot, contains a mix of story missions and randomized expeditions. Most of all, the game doesn’t aim to address or correct colonial attitudes. It simply places you in this era and gives you moral freedom.

I don't get why fellow codexers don't talk about this game more, many of its strong points look incline to me: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1751920/Curious_Expedition_2__Shores_of_Taishi/
