Hot takes about game design

We are very opinionated people, and we have some opinions about game design in our favorite games.

SOOT

The world has lost its balance and a great danger looms humanity with the impending destruction of a cataclysmic event. The only hope resides in the technology to terraform the planet and reinstate the right conditions to avoid the tragedy.

The technology has been lost to the ages, mysticism, and superstition have taken over; but the key to the secret of terraforming lies in the hands of Laura McKenzie, a brave scientist determined to save her homeworld at all costs, and the ancient encoded manuscript that reached her hands in a fateful hour.

In SOOT the player takes control of that scientist learning about terraforming through a strategy simulation game with a delicate system of balances and counterbalances and a thrill-filled story with more than one secret about the world and the nature of the coming doom.

SOOT features a dramatic story filled with conspiracies, conflicting interests, and a complex political agenda, all while struggling with the technological challenges of two eras clashing through the pages of an ancient journal.

  • Deep thought-provoking gameplay that promotes problem-solving with a complex simulation system.
  • Level-based progression that challenges the player along with the story.
  • Narrative driven with an engaging story presented through gameplay and interactive comic books.
  • Stylized take on the sci-fi genre with a detail-rich Steampunk aesthetic.
  • Mature discussion about how humanity influences the environment through technology.
