Welcome to the Hotel California. You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave.

With enough alcohol anything is possible.

Oh man I don’t remember ever seeing the Codex as full of good cheer as ITT. Now we know what it takes.

Thank you Obsidian, You just made exactly the kind of game that I've never wanted to play. For years, I've been wondering what it could be like, and now I now. A fucking embodiment of decline. How Enlightening.

This projects seems solely designed to be a failure. It's like, WTF are they blind, even people who like this type of game will hate this

Wow, I'm glad that Obsidian is finally allowed truly spread their wings and make something both interesting and original instead of endlessly rehashing old RPG cliches. Can't wait to lead a bunch o plucky teenagers to fight giant ants, beetles and spiders. I've never done any of those in an RPG before, I wonder if Obsidian will be allowed to go all-out and put some giant rats in the game or do we have to wait for the sequel to see that.

I'm really not sure who the game is even being marketed towards.

Fortnite is the biggest market ever was.
And?
What does that game have that Fortnite doesn't? Why would someone willingly choose to play it over Fortnite — an already established game with a massive community and developers who understand the game?
Honestly asking, I've never played Fortnite.

Grab the Codex by the pussy Strap Yourselves In Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
It seems this game is kind-of-maybe ripping off an indie game called Smalland that was announced before Obsidian's game started development.



Smalland is also the better-looking game according to the Steam screenshots.

Fortnite has Zombies, this has bugs. Mind the fact that the game is similar to the original Fortnite which was a miserable failure, not Fortnite: Battle Royale a.k.a most popular video game on the planet.

This game actually looks interesting, so it's not a ripoff.
Wishlisted to keep an eye on it
