so far, I like it. I think it's enjoyable. Like, I like the premise that they're playing around with with the vertical building and the extensions and stuff like that.

The Consensus: Is It Worth Playing?
DarkSwitch is a vertical survival city-builder set within a colossal tree, where players construct settlements across trunk and boughs while managing resources and defending against a creeping fog. The game blends city-building, tower defense, and exploration mechanics in a dark fantasy setting with branching narrative choices.

I like it a lot. I'm very, very amped about this game, dude. Like, I'm excited for this one to come out. There's so few games that have tried to do the Frost Punk thing at the requisite level that they need to be at in order to give a satisfying gameplay experience. And so, this game's actually feeling pretty good.
