    Don’t want to get my hopes up, but this is a cool concept.

    What exactly is cool about it?

    If the line "Wake up Alex, what I say goes!" was replaced by "Wake up Alex, I'm the cartoonish villain with no needs or wants as a character" would that be better or worse?

    I’m not talking about the dialogue. 1917-18 revolution the RPG is a good concept.

    1- Why? What makes a good concept or a bad one, and why is this one good?
    2- By the way, this game's setting and the short description have nothing to do with the Russian revolution, zero similarities. So before you even start answering, get that idea out of your head.
    3- Why are you "not talking" about the dialogue? What's wrong with discussing dog shit writing?

    I really hope this isn't another attempt by a socially engaged English major to wake me up to the plight of racial minorities in the anglosphere by means of an original and thought-provoking allegory of our world.

    Is this the exact copy of beamdog's decline HP bars? Curious that they thought this was a good thing to steal.

    this one is odd... accuracy is assigned to character, meaning its percentage value that doesnt depend on enemy stats. As such it might not be tampered with distance for ranged wpns?

    Looks good so far.
    They should work a bit on the dialogs though.

    "Wake-up Alex, what i say goes" looks like an unfortunate mix of modern and period way of speaking.

    The combat screenshot reminds me of Banner Saga.

    I read the visual novel. It's hilariously bad, stay away from this game.

    The artwork looks like traced photos. English Major would be a compliment for the writing. In fact no one on the team is a native speaker, and it shows.

    The story would have been much more interesting if they had set it in a setting they know better - like the Saudi regime or some other Middle East dictatorship. Instead they have tried to pull off this pseudo-Russian Empire setting. The characters are cardboard cutouts.

    Ash of gods was also basic but it was somewhat interesting in the "what happens next" way, and its artwork was good.

    I don't know how they are going to release an EA in 7 working days, as what they have in Demo is not even beta-ready.
    Especially in comparison to EA quality of BG3.
    There's just no content, even the base stats are not translated to English yet:

    The first (and only I've seen) battle is started by clicking on a blue-cube placeholder, aaaand... it does not work. This screenshot is all I could get from the combat tutorial.
    So the game has ways to go before becoming playable, let alone sellable.
