As it is now, the game is near impossible to play without the walkthrough. With the walkthrough, it's almost fun to play. Without it, you need to have psychic abilities because the in-game text is sparse. Playing blind, you're just typing guesses into the void. If the implementation was better, if there had been more details about the setting, if there had been some way to gauge resources and keep up with the events of every turn, then this could have been a good game. Maybe even great.
