It's such an innovative concept to me, I loved it! The sound could do some work, and the art although simple, has it's little charm to it.\nThe fact that you have to pay attention to stuff like the organ size, expiration and even the blood compatibility is fascinating to me! It brings me back to my recent biology classes and I'm really happy how they went for accuracy. It made me stick around to play more.\nThere were some small moments where I got slightly frustrated with the RNG aspect, especially when I was going down back home and 5 wolves started chasing in total haha, but hey RNG can raise the steaks in a game, I get it, so it didn't ruin the experience for me.\nI'm really excited to see where the game will go from here.

This is a very important topic (as you know). :D\n\nThis one was definitely a challenge, for a few reasons! Firstly, the search across so many variables to find a match is tough (which is a good education about the reality of organ donors ...). Secondly, the wolves were a bit rough, especially when moving south. Without being able to see ahead of you, you really just hoped you were retracing your steps enough. Definitely a challenge!\n\nThere were a few times that I was certain I had found a match, but when I got back, the size didn't match. Are you sure there isn't a bug?? I found a O- large body on my last run, narrowly avoided wolves on the way back, only to find the organs were marked as small :( \n\nAll in all, I found this title VERY interesting to play.
