I am only about 1 hour of playtime in but this isometric post-apocalyptic point and click adventure shows plenty of promise.

It's point and click all the way, and you can save at will. A bleak washed out colour pallet and a detailed environment, underpinned by relevant sound and a moody score, all build a devastated place I want to spend time in. I also like games with this topish-down perspective so that's a plus as well.

There has been little puzzling thus far, and no one yet to converse with, but I talk to myself. Set in Finland, the voice work is appropriately in Finnish, with your subtitle language of choice easily available.

Left click to move and interact with the world, right click to open your inventory and journal, which includes a map that builds as you go and enables you to fast travel.

According to the Steam page the world is a lot grimmer than it appears to date, so that is something I can look forward to unearthing.

Thanks flotsam (and Draclvr). I was just reading a review on Steam but there were two things in the review I didn't understand. Hopefully I will understand them when you do your full review or I will be able to ask about them then. yes

There was something about DLSS Puzzles and that "you can click on prompts on the computers directly, instead of the keyboard". These may not be game specific things and I don't know if the two things go together or not. I just don't know what a DLSS Puzzle is or what that other statement might mean. duh

I have no idea what DLSS puzzles are but certainly the options on the computer screens I have accessed can be selected by using the mouse. Indeed, I am about two hours in now and haven't used anything but the mouse. Click to move and interact, double click to run, right click to bring up the 'utility belt' which holds all manner of things, and then use the mouse inside that.

This is DLSS "What is it? Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) is a new image rendering technology developed by NVIDIA, which uses deep learning to produce an image that looks like a higher-resolution version of an original lower resolution image."

I looked it up too, Ana. I'm still not sure I understand it any better as a puzzle!

I had also looked it up and saw stuff about NVIDIA but just thought that wasn't what I was looking for. And, though I appreciate your response Ana, I don't understand one word of it! shocked lol

Still hoping flotsam will be able to shed some light on it.
