F*ck me this might be the most starkly disturbing thing I’ve ever played. Deliver the body of your estranged mother, on your back, whilst falling over, to be cremated, then use a fetus in a jar to escape mud phantoms created from dead people across a wilderness . It’s absolutely gripping. I think this bit might have been undermined slightly for me by somehow discovering and repeatedly pressing by mistake the piss button |

Enjoying it enough so far (I decided to buy it after all, finances be damned), have unlocked the generator, so I'll be grabbing the bike next session. I get the feeling I'd probably enjoy it more if it was just about delivering the parcels instead of all the story bollocks. I like busywork. Yes I've still not bought it (I think today's the last day of the sale) because I just don't think it's the game I want it to be. I want it to be an organic experience about delivering things... basically an in-depth RPG about managing a dystopian delivery company, that you must build up to deliver payloads of ever-increasing variety, where planning is paramount. In reality, what I suspect it will be is an RPG-lite experience with constant batshit crazy story interruptions. |

I’d say planning is paramount when you get to 100% the game. There’s no way you are loading up a truck and getting up a massive mountain in 10 mins.

That's encouraging, but are the story interruptions intrusive? Can you get to a point in the game where you can put the story on hold indefinitely, and exclusively concentrate on "levelling up" and delivering things, or is the story more intrinsic to your progress?

I'd say it front loads the beginning with a lot of story, but after that you can just accept a lot of lost packages to deliver but you need to progress in the story to get access to a lot of the good gear that actually helps you so it's a give and take.

Considering this is one of my favourite games of all time. I could barely give you a sentence on what the hell the story was about haha. Once you get into the groove of delivering items, the story doesn’t really matter.
