A Masterpiece of a Game

When I first played A Dark Room years ago, I had stumbled across the browser version and only put maybe an hour or so into it. Those of you who have played know this barely scratches the surface of the game, but even so, when I came across the app quite a long time after, I didnt hesitate to buy it. Ive replayed it an uncountable number of times.
The Ensign provides just as enthralling and incredible of an experience. This game is brutal, dont get me wrong, but its brutality adds to the story in a way Ive never seen before. I found myself occasionally wanting to die so I could see how the game changed. Of course, there were also the times (much more frequent) where I found myself cursing and having to put the game down because Id died of my own carelessness. The frustration is entirely worth it. Stay with it. Start again, as much as you wont want to. I cant tell you the number of times this game made me pause and gave me chills.
The Ensign, as well as the original A Dark Room, are exquisite games with unique, rich storytelling and gameplay. I cannot recommend them enough.
