Additional fines and, if necessary, sanctions. If you refuse to pay a fine imposed by the EU then guess what? You can’t do business in the EU any more.

So do you think this research is invalid, or are you just being snarky for the sake of it?
I have a lot of fond nostalgia for A Final Unity, but the two TOS point & click games are way better designed. Plus they’re far easier to get hold of, since they’re sold on GOG while Final Unity isn’t available digitally anywhere.
That said, Final Unity is still good and if you prefer TNG then find a way to play that!

Love TheC64 from the same company, so this will be a day one purchase for me
Such a shame NOLF is so deeply mired in rights disputes that we’ll probably never even get a digital rerelease, let alone a sequel.
It’s called a branching narrative. Most common related Steam tag for finding similar games would probably be ‘choices matter’.
Yes, but they were already on Steam - this release is new
TLDR: the ‘novel technique’ is PWAs
You can manually restart in OW - it’s an ability you can learn from one of the characters you meet.
In my experience, if people are going to bounce off the game it’ll come down to one (or more) of three reasons:
- They hate the flight controls
- They hate the feeling of being on a constant timer
- They hate the lack of explicit direction in what to do next
It’s one of my favourite games of all time, and it has good reasons for all of the above, but it’s definitely not for everyone!
And for anyone wondering, my counterpoints to the above would be:
- Learn to use the autopilot but don’t trust it; learning to manoeuvre precisely will come over time
- Don’t overthink the timer element; pick just one thing to investigate and focus on that, anything else is a bonus
- Use the ship’s computer and follow the unknowns; avoid walkthroughs unless you’re absolutely 100% stumped on what to do next
Companies patent dumb ideas all the time with no real intention to develop them. No harm in mocking them for it, but I wouldn’t be ringing alarm bells unless they actually start implementing it in their vehicles.
